Aug 16, 2016 at 19:10 | comment | added | Tang Ho♦ | In the case of 我学了六年法语了 (I have been studying French for six years), the second 了 is a final particle, therefore it can be omitted. If you treat the second 了 as an aspect marker, then the first 了 can be omitted, the result is:(A5) " 我学法语六年了" which express "I have been studying French for 6 years" without repeat 了 in a same sentence. | |
