UNIT 10 Present Perfect For & Since

For and Since for Time

We often use for and since when talking about time.

for + period

A period is a duration of time, for example: 5 minutes, 2 weeks, 6 years. For means "from the beginning of the period until the end of the period." For can be used with all tenses.

since + point

A point is a precise moment in time, for example: 9 o'clock, 1st January, Monday. Since means "from a pointnow." Since is normally used with perfect tenses.

• They are studying for three hours today.

For is NOT used with "all day", "all the time" etc.

• I was there all day. (not *for all day)

Since is normally used with perfect tenses:

• He has been here since 9am.
