Got it. Thanks teacher.

Teacher is the meaning different when you say "before two years" and "two years ago"? Would the difference be that "before two years" may imply sometime before two years that maybe longer than two years, and "two years ago" implies exactly 2 years ago?

The first one is wrong English.

Ohh I see. So it is wrong to say "before one year, two years" in the context of "one year ago, two years ago". Right?
