Hi everyone,
is it correct to say: "I haven't heard from him in ages"?

Thank you

Hi,

Yes, fine. It's an informal way of speaking.

I see. I thought that is may be wrong. I was familiar only with "for ages".
Thanks, Clive Smile [:)]

Both are correct.

I've been wanting a bike for ages, only Daddy hasn't been able to manage it.

I haven't seen Michael in ages.
