知识点对点 how long how soon how often how many times how long,how soon 和 how often 都含有 how,并且都和“多长时间、多久”有关,但它们的用法不相同
how long 意为“多久、多长时间”,主要是对一段时间进行提问,它可用于各种时态答语通常是 A for +时间段如(for)three days/weeks/months 等时间段,B Since + 时间点
如 since I was ten years old
Since 1995
since he get back
eg: ---- How long do you stay in Beijing every year
每年你在北京住多久
---I stay in Beijing for two months every year
我每年呆两个月
--- How long have they lived here
他们住在这里有多久了
----They have lived here since 1998
—How long were you not at school last year
去年你多久没上学
—For about two weeks
how soon 意为“还要多久”,是对从某个基本时间到将来某动作结束或某动作发生这段时间提问,常用在一般将来时态的句子中,其答语通常是“in + 时间段”
此时可以用when 代替—How soon can you finish the work
还要多久你能完成这项工作
—In half an hour
---How soon will you come back
= When wil you come back
----In tow days
