ei
my younger brother has a question from his mid term english exam, which is
"we took six hours to go there"
as long as I know,
"it took six hours for us to go there."
is the right one, but I think americans also use the first one in conversation.
please check.
my brother will appreicate it .
Both are correct.
For daily conversation, "We took six hours to go there." is more often used.
For a formal sentence, we say, "It took six hours for us to go there." / "It took us six hours to go there.
In the first sentece, "took" refers to travel. - We travel six hours to go there
In the second sentence, "it" refers to the the travel as a noun. - The travel took six hours for us to go there.
Did I answer your question? haha
