A long period of time

	Liveinjapan  #545789  Thu, 24 Jul 08 08:38 AM How long a period of time has passed since then? How long has passed since then?   I think that the second is grammatically incorrect although it carrys the same meaing as the first. Is the second correct?    Liveinjapan Joined on Sun, Feb 4 2007 Osaka, Japan Contributing Member (1,598) Please feel free to correct any words I wrote.LiJ

	New2grammar  #545793  Thu, 24 Jul 08 08:44 AM Should it be, how long has it passed since then?    New2grammar Joined on Tue, Nov 21 2006 Veteran Member (7,670) Who wants to go sailing around the world with me?

	CalifJim  #545797  Thu, 24 Jul 08 08:54 AM New2grammar Should it be, how long has it passed since then? It should be exactly as Liveinjapan has written it: How long a period of time has passed since then? Alternate: How long has it been since then? CJ     CalifJim
