This is a great use of “drag on.” I’m not sure about “especially” here, though. If you say, “The traffic jam dragged on for an hour,” you’re talking about one time. But if you say, “especially on Monday,” you’re saying it happened multiple times and Monday is an example.

You can say this: “The traffic causes my commute to drag on, especially on Mondays” – this is more of a habit. You can also say, “Every day last week, especially on Monday, my commute dragged on due to the traffic.”

Fantastic use of “drag on.” I would just make two edits. “Invites” should become “invited” or (better) “has invited.” Second, if you say “my company,” it will be clear from the context that this is where you work as an employee (for the moment; as a partner soon). However, if you do want to specify “where I work” you can say: “The company where I work has invited me to become a partner, but the process is dragging on.”

You’ll want to say, “Many couples don’t have the courage to separate and their marriages drag on.” I’m guessing that in your mind you would have put “para” before the verb “to separate” … it’s the same in Spanish, but in English, you would not put the equivalent “for” in that case.

Here are a few other examples that have the same form:

I’m not in the mood to watch a movie tonight.
He doesn’t have the strength to lift a car by himself.

It’s almost never positive. If you try to delay something so that you get an advantage, you would use “drag out.” For example, if your boss is supposed to make a presentation at a meeting and he’s running late, you could try to drag the introductions out for another 10 minutes, so that your boss can get there on time to begin the presentation. Or you could say, “The other side is trying to drag the negotiations out, but we want to wrap things up quickly.”

Great, thanks for that edit. I just updated the translation. Have you ever seen the show “Suits”? I’m watching it now. Nothing drags on in Suits. Entire mergers get completed in one episode! They work on cases for a couple of days and it’s all resolved. I still like the show, though!
