How long

[Falcon]

Hello everybody!

I'm here again.

Can I ask "How long have you been here?" ? Is this question correct? What would you understand if I asked it?


Thanks

I would understand that you were asking the time I were here till you asked.

So, I also could ask "How long have you been in Brazil?", couldn't I?


Thanks

Thanks

Yeah, you could.

Now answer me:

Have you ever been in prison?
Have you ever been to The Netherlands?

We must learn that intuitively.

Thanks for answering.

Yep, it's really different in and to when using "Have you ever been"!!

What I was not understanding is if I could use "how long" in this question...
