Answer

Hello Maicart. I would say that (a) to (e) sound wrong.

These sound okay:

- It's a week since I last saw a film.
- It's been a week since I last saw a film.
- I haven't seen (any) films for a week.

With the addition of 'any' in the last one because that helps it sound more idiomatic, to my ear.

Hope that helps. :-)

Answer

O, and i) makes sense, but I can't imagine when I'd use it. It would work with a different context:

- I haven't seen Holmes in a week. I wonder what he's been up to...
