T - You've studied French for seven years. You should be able to speak it.
P - No, I didn't say for seven years. I said for seven months. I've studied French for 7 months now. (been studying)
If you simply mean that 7 years have passed since the last time you studied French, then "in 7 years" or "for 7 seven years" are both correct. I can't think of any real difference in meaning. In terms of practical understanding, they're the same. |
By the way, what made you pose that question?
