Je suis un peu paumée.... J'ai une petite question: Quelle est la différence entre "pendant " et "depuis '' ? "J'ai étudié le français pendant deux mois." "J'étudie le français depuis deux mois." I was told that these two sentences are almost same and no difference but I think that the nuance would be different. "J'ai étudié le français pendant deux mois." I had studied French for two months. (You don't know if I am still learning French or not.) It seems that pendant refers to a period from the beginning to the end and the entire duration of an action in the past or future, with no relation to the present. "Jétudie le français depuis deux mois." I have studied French for two month. (still I do) so...they are a bit different, aren't they? C'est un peu différent, n'est-ce pas? Je suis un peu paumée.
