Does this make any sense, context aside

• You're perception of how long you're wife has been gone isn't necessarily how long she's actually been gone.

What does that mean to you and is it grammatically correct, the sentence?

and one more thing which would one say?

• Tell me the last thing you did/tell me what the last thing you did was.

Thanks

As written, it is not correct grammar and makes no sense.  This is because of the spelling and punctuation of the two instances of you're.

and one more thing which would one say?

• Tell me the last thing you did/tell me what the last thing you did was. Yes, both are OK.

I posted a message to you some days ago. I'm not sure if you noticed it.

Here it is.

 It basically means that the timespan he thinks his wife has been away does not have to be isn't equal to the actual time. It makes perfect sense and is correct -- assuming you replace "you're" with 'your'.

Timespan doesn't exist but I don't know what you'd replaceit with.

At least I'm pretty sure the sentence looks better now, CLive some input? Anyone?

Thanks ferdis

The difference between "isn't" and 'does not have to be' is that the former indicates an absolute truth while the latter allows for other options -- corresponding to "isn't necessarily". Since your questions are so vague, I try to explain every word in different words, which often results in ackward sentences.

As for the word 'timespan', may I suggest a good dictionary?

Good catch on the 'assumed/assuming'. Truth to be told, I reply here as much to improve my own English as to help others. For me, just reading things doesn't work that well; I have to actively think about sentences and grammar. No offense intended, but sometimes I get the feeling that you consider my non-native English insufficient to answer your questions. If you would rather I no longer try and answer them, all you have to do is say so.
