You can use tick() to get the difference between the times

At the top of the script, you can do this:

local startTime

Then when you set the value to true, you can do this:

bool.Value = true
startTime = tick()

And then when you set it to false, you can check if the difference between the new tick and the start time is more than 10

bool.Value = false
local timeTaken = tick() - startTime
if timeTaken >= 10 then
	print("10 seconds later")
end

If you just wanted to do all this whenever the value is changed, it would look something like this:

local bool = --set to boolvalue
local startTime
bool.Changed:Connect(function(newVal)
	if newVal == true then
		startTime = tick()
	else
		local timeTaken = tick() - startTime
		if timeTaken >= 10 then
			print("More than 10 seconds")
		end
	end
end)
