[for two Thursdays] or [on Thursay for two weeks]

Post by ansonman »

I have made up the sentences below,

(1a) I know Jack will come to visit us, but I am not exactly sure when that will happen. I have heard that he will spend time with us for two Thursdays.

(1b) I know Jack will come to visit us, but I am not exactly sure when that will happen. I have heard that he will spend time with us on Thursday for two weeks.

Which highlighted phrase is correct? Thank you for your time and help.
