Sentence: This call (phone call) does lost long

[Sureshvemuri]

Are the sentences below correct:

1. This call (phone call) does not last long.
2. This call (phone call) lasts for 10 minutes.

In our day-today conversation, can we say like that.

Regards,
Suresh

The sentences are grammatically OK, but in what context did you imagine they would be used?

The sentences suggest that this phone call is a standardised and repeatable event whose length is known in advance, which is not usually the case. I suppose the sentences could be used in reference to a premium-rate fixed-length call, such as when you call for a weather forecast, for example.

In the case of #1, you may mean "This call won't last long" (making a confident prediction).

Thanks Dozy !

Everyday, in status call (phone call) we report to our Manager what we did on that day.
I referred to that.

Is this okay:
This phone call will last for 10 minutes.
This phone call will go for 10 minutes.

If you know in advance exactly how long the call will last, you can say "This call will last for 10 minutes". But, because it's rare to know exactly how long a call will take, it would be much more common to say things like:

"This call will probably last/take about 10 minutes."
"This call shouldn't last/take more than about 10 minutes."
etc.

"go for" is intelligible but not a very good way of saying it. You may be thinking of "go on for".

Thanks Dozy, for your clarification. It is clear now.
