For ou Since
Today, we will learn about For and Since and how to use them properly when refering to time:
1) For
For is used to express a certain distinguished period of time.
For example:
-I have been here for 2 hours.
-You have been waiting for 2 weeks.
In other words, for is used to express a time period that has begun,a duration.
Examples:
-For centuries, man has evolved beyond expectations.
-We have been on this planet for millions of years.
To differentiate it from its counterpart you can try and replace with since and see if it sounds correct. Vice-versa is possible too.
2) Since
Since, unlike for, is used to express the beginning of a period of time.
For example:
-I have been here, since 9 am.
-You have been waiting, since this all began.
In other words, since is used to express a time period that has begun, and is still continuing now.
Examples:
-Since I was born, my mom has been nice with me .
-I have been working, since I was 30 years old.
In this exercise choose between for and since depending on the sentence.
Good Luck!
