Ryan’s Phrase Of The Day: In ages

Meaning: A long time

Example

(1): “Wow! You look completely different Ryan, I haven’t seen you in ages. I didn’t think it was genetically possible for you to become more handsome but you have managed it!”

Example (2): “I hadn’t been to a concert in ages until I went to see LANY at Tango in Beijing on Saturday night. I should go more often.”

*You can also say for ages, they are equally common*

See ya!

    By the way, I wanna ask a question for the pronunciation of 'a', I heard someone pronounce it in /ei/. So when to pronounce/ei/ and when to pronounce /e/??? That’s so confusing
