Ale, si sos argentino va a resultar más fácil responder tu ejemplo "los tres días la pasaron muy bien", que es correcto, no así "los tres días los pasaron muy bien". ¿Por qué? En la oración el sujeto, que es tácito o sobreentendido podría ser "ellos" "la pasaron muy bien" quiere decir que se divirtieron mucho, independientemente del tiempo que transcurrió. "los tres días" es un complemento circunstancial de tiempo. Espero que se entienda y no confunda más.

Maybe, to take the bull by the horns? Or, using baseball terminology, to step up to the plate?
