SEV Biblia, Chapter 18:11
Y se detuvo allí un año y seis meses, enseñándoles la palabra de Dios.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Acts 18:11
Verse 11. He continued there a year and six months] He was now confident that he was under the especial protection of God, and therefore continued teaching the word, ton logon, the doctrine of God. It is very likely, that it was during his stay here that he wrote his first epistle to the Thessalonians, and the second not long after; and some think that the epistle to the Galatians was written during his stay at Corinth.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 11. And he continued there , etc.] At Corinth, as the Syriac version, and some copies, read; he was obedient to the heavenly vision: in the Greek text it is, “he sat” there, answerable to the Hebrew word bçy , which signifies to sit, continue and abide: he stayed there in all a year and six months; which was a long time for the apostle to stay in one place, and longer than he did anywhere, unless at Ephesus, where he continued two years, ( Acts 19:10) for as for his stay at Rome, that was by confinement: but here were many people to be called, and much work to do, a large church to be raised, and put in order; and this required time as well as care and labour: teaching the word of God among them ; he did not sit idle here, but preached the Gospel, which is the word of God, and not man, openly and publicly, among them all; and that frequently, in season and out of season, and with great boldness and faithfulness.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 7-11 - The Lord knows those that are his, yea, and those that shall be his for it is by his work upon them that they become his. Let us no despair concerning any place, when even in wicked Corinth Christ ha much people. He will gather in his chosen flock from the places wher they are scattered Thus encouraged, the apostle continued at Corinth and a numerous and flourishing church grew up.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
18:11 {A year and six months} (eniauton kai menas hex). Accusative of extent of time. How much time before this incident he had been there we do not know. He was in Corinth probably a couple of years in all. His work extended beyond the city (#2Co 11:10) and there was a church in Cenchreae (#Ro 16:1).
