⏳ Talking about Time

In this story, countries argue about how many days they need. To reach A2, you must know how to describe duration (how long something takes).

The Pattern: Number + Time Word (days, months, years)

From the text:

  • 60 days → (Short time)
  • 90 days → (Longer time)

How to use it in real life: If you are learning English, you don't say "I study 30 days." You say:

  • "I need 30 days to finish the book."
  • "The trip takes 5 days."

Quick Tip: Always add an -s to the end of the word if the number is more than one.

  • 1 day (No -s)
  • 2 days (Add -s) \rightarrow 100 days
