    My try:

    Мне потребовалось много времени, чтобы с ней поладить. (?)
    Фильм идёт более двух часов.
    Добраться от автовокзала до моего места не займёт много времени.
    Она всегда долго принимает душ. (?)

    Thanks a lot.

    My English is not perfect so I don't know whether they're correct. However, in Czech we say sentences like these.

    By the first sentence I mean → … before I started to get on with her / … before I got on with her. For those who can speak Czech → ''… než jsem s ní začal vycházet /… než jsem s ní vycházel''

    By the last sentence I mean → before she will finish her showering (the process). In Czech -> ''… než se vysprchuje“ meaning simply → ''before (or maybe until) she will finish that''.

    Do you have one word for this verb, too?
