Ĉu tempo? ĉe tien? Io ne taŭgas.
Sed fojo ankaŭ ne ŝajnas taŭgi. Ĉu periodo?

Why can't I say 'Ili longe tiris...'? It is used in another sentence which I think translates to 'They played for a long time but in the end did not succeed'

It was in this same set of 'Sports' though. Be that as it may, could you tell me why different rules should apply to these similar sentences?
More info would really help.

I'm not sure what else can be said.
if you're looking for meaningful feedback in the forum: It's always good to include:
- the whole sentence you entered
- the full correction
- any unused word tiles
- screenshot or copy-paste is best
Clear questions with full sentences are appreciated. Questions of the form "ABC is wrong because?" will often get answered, but not by me. Questions of the form "hundo?" are probably clear to the asker, but not always to the answerer.
