Hi;
I have one question regarding to use "more". i.e. I have 2 more weeks to do my report. and I have 2 weeks more to do my report. Which one is correct.
I appreciate for your answer.
Thanks

Hi Tengchhay,

Both expressions are acceptable. There is a slight difference. 'Two more weeks' states simply the fact that there are an additional two weeks available for finishing the report. 'Two weeks more' gives the idea that there is no need to worry because there are still another two weeks available. The difference is not really very great.
