Use hacer to express periods of time.
hace + the period of time + que + the present tense
Ex: Hace muchos semanas que quiro venir a Puerto Rico.
It's been many weeks since I've wanted to come to Puerto Rico.
If you're asking how long it's been, do the same thing, but use cuánto tiempo instead:
¿Cuánto tiempo + hace + fque + the present tense?
¿Cuánto tiempo hace que quires veni al programa?
How long have you been wanting to come to the program?
If you are talking about the past, use the preterite and hace to say ago.
hace + the period of time + que + the preterite
Hace un año que fui a Puerto Rico.
I went to Puerto Rico a year ago.
To say ago, you can also put the verb first. When the verb comes first, you do not need que. Use:
the preterite + hace + the period of time
La conocí hace tres meses.
I met her three monts ago.
