"I havn't done something for a long time" <-- is it correct ?
For example. Someone ask me if I meet Bill recently .
I didn't see him for ages.

To add some explanation : "for ages/a long time" is used after present perfect tense. So "I didn´t seen him for ages" is not correct. When you use simple past, you have to refer to a specific point in time, eg: yesterday, last week, etc.
