"For a couple more years, I (struggle) struggled through grammar and vocabulary lessons."
"I (stay) stayed with a host family for one month."
I have done a test today.I can`t understand why the correct verb form used in these sentences is Past Simple.
For me,it was clear that i should use Past Perfect Continuous,because it emphasizes the duration of these actions.
Besides, I always thought that prep. for cannot be used with Past Simple.
Thank you for your answers
