Re: Grammar tenses

Could you please explain what you mean by "exact durations"?

Re: Grammar tenses

From:
I just really want to know the exact durations between the perfect tenses.

The sentence suggest duration as an unspecified unit of time, which should use the singular of duration. The words "just really" are unnecessary. The word "exact" is meaningless; specify a time unit and limit.

Suggestion:
I want to know the duration between the perfect tenses to the nearest second.
