可以跟for 连用的表示时间段概念的词语,“由大到小”排序:
for a century
for a decade
for a year
for a season
for a month
for a fortnight
for a week
for a day
for an hour
for a minute
for a while
for a moment
for an instant
for a long time
for a short time
【说明】for a long time,for a short time:不具体,无法排序。
这4 个词组,for a minute,for a while,for a moment,for an instant,意思基本相等,都是“一会儿”,说明时间持续得很短。
