Student or Learner
Yesterday he told me that he had met my uncle two years ____ (before/ago).
The given answer is 'before'. I suspect 'ago' is ok too, with a tolerance of just one day for two years. Am I right?
Could I ask native speakers to help me please? Thank you in advance.
Thanks, engee30. I don't have to take any exam. I'm just learning real English.And even in exams, I would have chosen 'ago'. I would have chosen to go against the rules in a sentence like this. So I hope native speakers can make me feel totally certain of it.
Thank you again.
