Right about now but it all depends on how much you talk to him or at him. Do you carry on a conversation with him or just ask him to perform? He need to here how words go together to say a whole sentence if you want him to grasp this concept. Do you say Let's go to the store to look for a pair of shoes and then go do that. OR do you just go through your day until you want him to ask for something or say something? It does make a difference. I talked constantly to my children from the time they were out of the womb. Not baby talk. Real talk. Like good morning Katie , How are you today. Let's get you into a bath. You like Baths don't you? Does the water feel good? OK you are all clean. Let's get you dressed. People may think this is weird but my children all were good communicators buy the time they were20 months and I am convinced it is because they heard so many words all day long. My grandson who is 2 can barely say 1 word at a time because mom sits on the Internet all day and only talks to him when she has to.

I have heard they're supposed to have at least one phraise by 24 mo. Every baby is diffrent. Apparently when I was less than 2 years old, I could speak in full sentances. I think girls are generally earlier in this than boys. My son is 16 mo and has only ever combined two words once (and that was quite some months ago).

I think right around age 2 to 2 1/2 is normal to start using mini-sentences.
My older daughter started putting words together very haltingly around 18 months. For example, she said, "Anga. Bih. Dada. High," to tell me that Daddy put the big angel high up on the tree at Christmas. By 22 months, she would say things like, "Hoss. Dee. Ya," to say that the horse was drinking water (when she played Little People). If you were patient, she said quite a bit, but you had to wait for her to think of the next word and figure out how to say it.
My younger daughter is almost 22 months, and she's just now starting to put some words together, but she still mostly says one word at a time. If she's trying to tell a whole story, she's starting to say several individual words in a row like my older daughter did at 18 months. However, she pauses in between each word as she tries to think of what comes next.
It sounds like your son is probably doing well if he's saying lots of individual words, and the sentences will come in time if you continue to talk to him often and be patient as he tries to communicate with you.

My nine year old started sentences at a year old. I didn't realize it until one day I sat down and was watching all her old partied with her. I have a friends with a little boy who will be 24 months in November and he doesn't combine his words. I would just keep working with him.

I'm not sure there's any set time. All kids learn differently. My daughter is almost 18 months and has been saying things like, "I don't want it" or "I love you" for at least two months now. She's had "thank you" down for much longer. But everyone seems to think my daughter is early with all that stuff so don't be discouraged.

My son didn't start really talking til after he turned 2. Now he's almost 4 and I can't get him to stop talking. He will in his own time, he is an individual. Enjoy this time of single words.

Kids progress at different rates. Usually between 2-3 years old.

okay, dont want to scare you but he should be doing that now or soon. IF NOT get him tested for delays, early intervention is best. my son at 18 months old had a 900 word vocabulary but couldtn string words together like I want juice. many of his little friends wre talking up storms by age 20 months to 2yrs old.
My son has asd ( autism spectrum disorder ) and with his speech therapy he has come along way and now ask for everything by name.
please talk to your pediatrician
