It means "three hours in addition," "three hours more," "for another three hours." Other languages use the word "hour" or "hours" to refer to the time of day, but not English. _________________ You live a new life for every new language you speak. -Czech proverb |

In fact, my question was as follows:
Which does "three more hours" mean, "three hours in addition" or "any amount of time from three hours to four hours"? (I was sleepy when I typed the question. )
However, after reading your reply, I understand its meaning now.
Thanks a lot! |
