@SharifNL Thanks. I still think that saying "One and a half year ago" is more correct. I don't know why though haha. English is not my native language.

One and a half is correct too but then you have to use 'years'

@HazelGrace Thanks Hazel. One more question: in daily speech (either in US or BR) which one would be more common to hear: "a year and a half" or "one and a half year"?

- Hindi
Honestly,both of them are equally correct and equally used but I'd say in the US "a year and a half" is a liiiiiitle more common:)
