Post subject: Is it correct? |
|
|
Hi,
I wanted to say that my work was pretty hard and passing one day at
work were like passing one year's time. Should I say:
One day at my workplace is like one year's time
or
One day at my workplace were like one year's time
?
Thank you in advance.
David

Was like.

Was like.
Usually it would be "was like a year", rather than the longer form.
