Update using duration

Bonjour!

Hi can someone tell me if these sentences are correct that I wrote using the duration vs length of time etc

Je nettoie la maison la journée.

I cleaned the house all day.

Nous prenons le métro le matin.

We take the metro in the morning.

Thanks

Nicole

This question relates to:French lesson "An vs année, matin vs matinée, jour vs journée, soir vs soirée to express a time unit or a duration in French"

Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

One would most likely say: je fais le ménage toute la journée -- I clean the house all day long.

Nous prenons le métro le matin would usually be interpreted as "every morning". If you want to say "this morning" than you'd use ce matin.
