Is this sentence correct?

Only extremely casually. It needs a subject.

"food" seems unnecessary.

CJ

CalifJim"food" seems unnecessary.

CJ

But if it's:

Seems like we were eating this whole afternoon...sounds kind of like we're having "whole afternoon" as food....

Not at all. Try to accept the advice of our experts.

Mister MicawberNot at all. Try to accept the advice of our experts.

Yes, will do.

What's the difference between:

Seems like we were eating this whole afternoon. And

Seemed like we were eating this whole afternoon.

Shouldn't the latter be the only grammatically correct sentence?

Both need a subject.

pleasehelpBut if it's:

Seems like we were eating this whole afternoon...sounds kind of like we're having "whole afternoon" as food..

I suppose a computer analysis of the sentence might suggest that as one of the possibilities, but as a human being you know a lot more about the world and how it works than a computer does, so you want to tak

Mister MicawberBoth need a subject.

Hi MM,

Would 'it' be the subject?

It seems like we were eating the whole afternoon.

It seems like we've been eating the whole afternoon. <--- Could present perfect be used here even though whole afternoon is considered a specific time?

Yes, that's right

It seems... now
It seemed...in the past
It has seemed...during the afternoon

It seems like we've been eating since the afternoon. Present perfect

It seemed like we had been eating since the afternoon. Past perfect

What's the difference between these two sentences?

The first sentence means that we're still eating.

The second means that we've stopped eating but we ate the whole time during the afternoon.
