My first thought was ellipsis. The flight was delayed (for) two days - both are ok in my neck of the woods Cheers Jayho |

It is amazing that the moderator says that it is better to use �for� with time. There is no doubt that at least three options are acceptable in this sentence. My problem is to explain it to my students and to teach how to use the prepositions and other things in the English language to pass their exams successfully :)
Thank you for your comments
Best wishes to all :) |

I�d say "onto". BTW, if you take a guitar onto a submarine, Ringo Starr will probably sing about it, and nobody wants that! |

Hi, you would take your guitar on board a submarine. To help you decide, think about if the transport is commercial/public or personal. If it�s public/commercial it�s on
Eg on a bus, train, submarine.
If it�s more personal it�s in
Eg in a car taxi
Hope that helps 😊 |

Sorry re above - it keeps removing new lines and spacing when I type! So might not look as clear but is the right answer |

GRe the flight delay..
Wait or wait for = either is right.
This is because you are waiting for time, not an object. Time (ie 2 days) can be with or without for. But if the wait relates to an object, you must use �for�
Eg � I waited for the submarine. I waited two days for the submarine. I waited two days I waited for two days All of these are correct 😊
