hi guys had a lotta welcome back to
German with Jenny in this video I want
to talk to you about expressions of time
once again more specifically I want to
talk to you about how to use for in
German let's take a closer look if
you're talking about a period of time in
the past you wouldn't use for like in
English let's take a look at some
examples
Ziva foots in taga in Hamburg she was in
Hamburg for 14 days
Ziva foots and toga in Hamburg
alternatively you can say
Ziva fits in tag lang in Hamburg Ziva
fits in tagalog in Hamburg I explain the
difference between site lang and for in
this video right here and I explained
how to use a go in this video right here
Katerina Vitale neat so have I seen
Katerina couldn't be reached for days
Katerina bottarga lung nicht zu f - that
was a sentence in the passive voice in
the active voice you would say man canto
Katerina tag-along leashed evasion one
couldn't reach Katerina for days man
canto Katerina tag Lang niched
air - you can also say stunned in Lang
vu Conlan Munna - Lang and Yahoo Lang
which means four hours for weeks for
months and four years if you want to ask
a question such as for how long was
Peter in Germany you would say V Langa
repite in Deutschland V Lana vapid ah in
Deutschland subotica Yaga in mouseland
she was abroad for three years Ziva Tata
Yahveh in mouseland or you can say Ziva
Takaya Halong in mouseland

the events of I monitor Indian was ah we
were in the US for two months we found
spy monitor Indonesia or you can say
be balanced by monitor lang in the US

versa if you're talking about a future
event you would use fewer just like an
English we found few that I've often
expand yin we're going to Spain for
three weeks we found food that I've
often expand Yin if you want to ask how
long are you staying
you would say we Lang a black ear Villa
a blight yeah how long are you staying
for I'm walking in the fog on via not
home we're going to Rome for the weekend
I'm Vonda fatten via knock home so here
you cannot say food Isfahan and that
does make sense
you just have to say I'm walkin and if
you've been doing something for a
certain length of time and you're still
doing it you have to use site and the
present tense in English you would use
the present perfect continuous and we
don't do that in German present perfect
continuous in case you guys don't know
so much about the English grammar I have
been doing I have been living I have
been studying I have been going etc I
have been living in Germany for six
months if one is that Zechs mounatin in
