2. I leared English f or three years.

3. I learn English for three years.

Which of them are accepted grammatically?
Why or why not?
Waiting for your replies, thanks.

In my grammar book #4 is not grammatical.

The limited uses are as I said: for a plan, usually in the future.
#3 and #4-- "Here is my university schedule, Dad. See, I study English / I am studying English for three years, and then during my fourth year I study / I'm studying Latin."

Oh, I got it finally!
Your explanation is to the point!
My English is not good, so "Can you recommend a grammar book to me?"
Next time I might ask another question, and are you OK?
Thanks again,
Gooday!

1-- Swan's Practical English Usage is an excellent reference book; I can recommend none better, overall.
2-- Grammar in Use is a reputable series, but I have not used it, only seen it, so I have no comment.
3-- I do not wish to denigrate Korean authors at all, and if your English level is low you may need to rely on them, but English grammars by Japanese aut

I appreciate your advice, Mister !
I do agree with you : many Korean books are terrible, too.
Thanks to your recommendation, my Englis should be improving.
If my English level is satisfactory, the lunch is on me!
Expecting the day,
Gooday!
