Is the following sentence correct?
If it is, what does it mean?

Hello!
No, it's not correct.
Did you want to say:
He has been in LA for a month. (Meaning: he has been staying in LA for a month's time.)
or
He hasn't been to LA for a month. (Meaning: it has been a month since he last went to LA.)
or
He has to be in LA for a month. (Meaning: He needs to stay in LA for a month.)
Does that help? |
