    I have written this function some years ago, looks like that’s what you are after.

    public static string GetTimeElpased(int secondsElpased, int minutesElpased, int hoursElpased,
    int daysElpased, int monthsElpased, int yearsElpased)
{
    if (secondsElpased < 30)
        return "few seconds ago";

    if (minutesElpased < 1)
        return secondsElpased + " seconds ago";

    if (minutesElpased < 5)
        return "few minutes ago";

    if (hoursElpased < 1)
        return minutesElpased + " minutes ago";

    if (hoursElpased < 5)
        return "few hours ago";

    if (daysElpased < 1)
        return hoursElpased + " hours ago";

    if (daysElpased == 1)
        return "yesterday";

    if (monthsElpased < 1)
    return daysElpased + " days ago";

    if (monthsElpased == 1)
        return "month ago";

    if (yearsElpased < 1)
        return monthsElpased + " months ago";

    string halfYear = (monthsElpased >= 6) ? " and half" : "";
    if (yearsElpased == 1)
        return "year" + halfYear + " ago";

    return yearsElpased + " years ago";
}
