Time
Grammar Notes
Dual forms
Once upon a time, Semitic languages (like Hebrew) had three different numbers: singular, plural, and a dual. They quickly fell out of use with the exception of some body parts that naturally come in twos (such as hands and feet) as well as time expressions, which are still used in Modern Hebrew.
These time expressions (two days, two years, etc.) have a special plural form for two: -. This ending is used for both masculine and feminine nouns. Because of this, saying two + a plural form is incorrect for these terms.
