Question about time.
For example:
If I want to talk with sb at about 6. p.m. Now it's at about 3 p.m.
How to ask correctly?
Can we talk for about 3 hours? or Can we talk in about 3 hours?

Question

Answer

The correct preposition is "in".

[ "For three hours" means the length of time (duration) of your talk. ]

Answer

Thank you very much for your explanation

Answer

Hi Agnieszka! It would be correct to say "can we talk in about 3 hours?"  Can we talk for about 3 hours? would mean it's 3pm and you want to stay on the phone with them until 6pm

Answer

Yes,  "Can we talk in about 3 hours?" is correct. When you say "Can we talk for about 3 hours", you are asking the other person if you can talk for a total for 3 hours time.
