away for two years

Question

Could this be desde hace in this sentence

Accepted Answer

Hola Maggi
This sentence from the quiz:
Estuvo fuera durante dos años. (She was away for two years.) 
can't use "desde hace dos años". 
You could use it if the verb was in the present tense:

Está fuera desde hace dos años.
(She has been away for two years.)

Here is our lesson for "desde hace".
