Tom has just returned from a three-week-trip.


He spent the first week in Rome and the second two weeks in Berlin.


Is `second two weeks�acceptable. Please tell me yes/no.
Thank you.

Hi klafterreith,

Second, in this context means two... so your sentence:

"the second two weeks in Berlin".

Does not make sense, so would be better gramatically to say:

"The following two weeks in Berlin".

Hope that helps.
