[Grammar] This job is longer or longer than expected

[Tinabien]

Dear all,
I have one sentence, but I am not sure which one should be used correctly.
They are:
1. Because of weather condition, this job is longer
or
2. Because of weather condition, this job is longer than expected.

 

[Rover_KE]

Neither is correct.

'Because of the weather conditions, this job will take longer than expected.'

Rover

Of course Rover is correct. Your sentence, however, didn't specify if the job has been finished or is continuing. Depending on its progress, you could also say "Because of weather conditions, this job has taken longer than expected" or "...took longer than expected"or even "...is taking longer than expected."
