Does the phrase "for four years" affect the sentence?-- Yes. I can see that a specific conversation could go like this:
Person 1: I was married for 4 years.
Person 2: I didn't know you were married for 4 years.
I didn't know you have been to one of my parties before.
I didn't know you had been to one of my parties before.
Are both right too?--
Person 1: I was married for 4 years.
Person 2: I didn't know you were married for 4 years.
I didn't know you have been to one of my parties before.
I didn't know you had been to one of my parties before.
Are both right too?--
