student asking question

If she used "another night" to mean "until the next night", isn't it necessary to put "till" or "for" before "another night"?

Native speaker’s answer

Rebecca

Yes, that's correct. It would sound most natural to add "for" in front of "another night," to make "do you think you could keep it for another night?" The speaker has omitted it here, but "for" should generally be used for cases like this. Ex: Can I borrow your textbook for another week? Ex: I can lend you my car for another day.
