Hello, everyone 
Are the sentences below correct?
1 Your body'll take a lot time to recover.
2 It'll take a lot time to recover you body. |

1. Almost! You can say 'a lot of time' or 'a long time', but not 'a lot time'
2. I'd change this to 'It'll take a lot of time for your body to recover'. When you use the transitive form of 'recover' (when something recovers something else) it means 'to get back' or 'to obtain something that was lost or inaccessible'. Your second sentence sounds like it will take a lot of time to retrieve someone's body, which sounds like they're dead! |
