for 2 hours, for a long time 都識。for ages, for years 唔熟，用得無乜信心。

since 8:00, since lunchtime 都 okay。since we arrived, since yesterday 都係唔夠熟。

They've been married for 10 years. 原來可以唔要 for。

但 They haven't had a vacation for 10 years. 就唔可以唔要 for。

I've lived here all my life. 係一定無 for。

They haven't had a vacation in 10 years. 原來 negative sentences 又可以用 in。

喱啲都要學，可見在下英文真係咋。

老土英語會話書有句老土句: I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU FOR AGES

我好耐無見你的意思

勁揪俠

for ages 耐啲定 for years 耐啲?

谢 乒兄 抬举。

我都想知，兩者都好耐，但係for years會係較耐，for ages其實無定義，好耐係你定義，for years係長年累月，好多年。所以點用我都係唔知

tomtom1995

應該係無一年無見就for ages,超越一年就for years

認為AGES, YEARS都是多年... ...

字面上係，age就一年一age，year就一年，上網查就兩個意思

"for ages" 係口語，"I have been waiting for an open table for ages." 好比粵語「等張空檯等咗幾世耐。」
