en vs pendant

ZIJUN W.A2Kwiziq community member

j'ai mangé pendant une heure vs j'ai mangé en une heure.

Do they have the same meaning: I ate within one heure?

Thanks.

Bonjour Zijun,

There's a clear difference:

"pendant une heure" = "for an hour"

- "en une heure" = "(with)in an hour"

I hope this is helpful.

Bonne journée !
