Sentence order

Hi,

Can you help me??

I have 2 important questions to share with you!

1. Are these both correct? (sentence order)

a) I´ve played 3 hours with the playstation.

b) I´ve played with the playstation 3 hours.

2) "In my life, I have visited the city museum more than two times?? more than twice?" I would say the correct word is "twice" but it doesn´t sound nice within this sentence.

"In my life, I have played tennis once".

Thank you.

Yes, both are OK. We often say 'for 3 hours'.

If you want a more advanced point to think about, try to avoid using the term 'play' twice in the same s

Thank you Clive!!!

In number 2 you asked me "why would you say such a thing?". Students had to answer: In your life, how many times have you visited the city museum?

It is the phrase 'more than two times' that sems like an odd thing to say.

Much more natural would be something like this. eg
