I spoke to her for . . . . . . . . long time yesterday. A. a B. an C. the D. no article

a
an
the
no article

The correct answer is (D).

We use no article before “long time” because it is an uncountable noun. Uncountable nouns do not have a plural form and cannot be preceded by an article.

Here are some other examples of uncountable nouns:

  • water
  • air
  • sand
  • love
  • happiness

We can use “a long time” to describe how long something lasted. For example, we might say “I waited in line for a long time” or “I studied for a long time.”

We can also use “a long time” to describe how long something took. For example, we might say “It took me a long time to finish the book” or “It took me a long time to learn how to drive.”
