They're all okay, except #6.

It would work as an exclamatory sentence: These watches have been broken for so many days! .

I haven't seen you for/in so many years! .

We sometimes use the expression when giving a sentence example for others to follow, or when the amount is unknown:

The contract says I have only so many days to complete the work. .

bassa"Borken" is the third tense of the vearb "break", right?

"The third tense" is not an expression we use.

"Broken" is the past participle of the verb "to break."

It could be the third word listed in the verb entry in the dictionary, since it differs from the simple past tense.

I break it today.

I broke it yesterday.

I have broken it .

Many verbs ending in "k" have a special spelling for the past participle, but some don't:

I look today.

I looked yesterday.

I have looked.
