She has left us for a few days
In English we can't say
*He has died for a long time. and it must be changed to -He died a long time ago. But can we say this?: -She has left us for a few days.

Absolutely.
We can also say "He has been dead (for) a long time."

Thank you, Rusty.
For -He has vanished/disappeared for a few days. 1. Is it correct English? 2.If no, must we correct it to -He vanished/disappeared a few days ago. Last edited by AngelicaDeAlquezar; July 23, 2013 at 05:32 PM. Reason: Merged back-to-back posts
