#)  How to say...
How to say "all the time for several hours"?
All the way through several hours or all the way around several hours?
Any suggestions? I would really like to use "way" - is there any chance to say that using "way" word??

I think she probably wants to ask about a phrasal verb which expresses exactly " for several hours", unfortunately I don't know any presenting this. Anyway I am also interested to know how to say it even out of curiosity

Well, I don't think you can use the word "way" for what you want to say, firstly.
Anyway else, have any idea's?

Honestly, we don't know exactly what you are looking for. I would be glad to help you but you need to provide us with some additional information. It's really tough to help you if we don't know how.
Wes, because you're a native speaker I've got a request for you. Can you try to give us as many expressions as you can think of with the word "way" in these? (It's much harder for me to find any...)
Maybe that would help somehow.

Ok, will add a few now, and will add more when I think of them.
"I am on my way." "Its way over there." "By the way, your shirt is on fire." (a bit of a joke there) "Its my way or the highway." "What is the best way to clean that."
Ok thats a few there. Will edit this post with more, as I think of them.
OP, are you trying to say something like this btw:
"Its been that way for several hours."
**EDIT** Here are some more: "Which way would you like to go?" "How many ways can you do that?"
