I slept for a long time so now I feel good.1) I slept long hours today so I am feeling good.![]()
2) I slept for long today so I feel good now.
Please check my sentences.
I suspect the same but, if that's the case, that should be the only difference between sentences 1 and 2 in post #1. Instead, #2 includes "for" but #1 doesn't, #1 uses "long hours" but #2 uses just "long", sentence #2 includes "now" and sentence #1 doesn't.I'm pretty sure that tufguy was attempting to ask about the difference in aspect between the present simple I feel good and the present continuous I'm feeling good, and that the bit about sleeping for a long time was just to puff the context out into a full sentence.
