Be careful to say how long you've been doing something. If you're still doing it now you should use the French present tense rather than the French perfect tense. On the other hand if you are talking about a complete period in the past and the focus of the sentence is the duration of the action the preposition used is I studied piano pendants for two years for a long time however if the emphasis is on duration rather than action this is not required in French While English usually uses é as a preposition, he stayed for two weeks.
In this example the focus is on how long he stayed for two weeks. Compare this to the C Level Contact List previous example where the action was Action Learn Piano. One exception is when talking about an expected duration in the future. In this case you should use although. Sometimes the preposition is not used in informal French. I am going to stay for two weeks. I am going to stay for two weeks. That is, if the focus is on action, you should use even if. It's in the future. I'm going to focus on studying French for two weeks. Prepositions of time are integrated into time expressions.
To express how long in the future something will happen, in English . He will arrive in half an hour. They will arrive in three. Get married within months but to indicate how long something will take please use. Here are two examples that illustrate this clearly. He will complete the job in two weeks. He will complete the job in two weeks. As you can see in English the translation is the same. However the first sentence tells you that the end date is two weeks from now and in the second sentence we say how long it will take him to complete the job.
