Q

Accusative of Duration

A

the accusative case is also used to show how long an action is performed. It’s important to remember that this doesn’t mean when the action is done, it means how long it was done for. For example, describing something that happened “for three days” uses the accusative, but something that happened “three days ago” uses the ablative instead.
