He estado fuera para algún tiempo.

Question

He estado fuera para algún tiempo.

I have been away for awhile.

Please correct my attempt.

Thank You

Answer 1

"Para" is used to indicate purpose, destination and recipient (i.e. anything at the end of the line). Is your being away in order to "some time"? Is "some time" where you want to end up? Is "some time" the thing or person that will receive your being away? Then do not use "para".

Answer 2

You could also use "he estado ausente".
