Desde hace
1. Pedro y yo nos conocemos desde hace muchos años.
2. Pedro y yo nos conocemos hace muchos años. Am I right in saying that number 2 above is incorrect? I think in order for 2 to be correct, the verb form would need to be ‘conocimos’. Many thanks in advance. |

You are correct on both counts about sentence 2.
However, "Hace muchos años que Pedro y yo nos conocemos" is correct. Last edited by Rusty; March 22, 2021 at 12:47 PM. |

I agree that grammatically No. 2 might not be great, but daily speech allows it.
If you say "nos conocimos hace muchos años", you're changing the meaning, even if you have a better sentence.
