Since and For

USE OF SINCE AND FOR

The words "since" and "for" are used to indicate the duration of an action or event in a sentence. Since and For help us to indicate point of time or period of time in a sentence.

1. "Since" is used to indicate the fix point of time (starting point) 

Example: "I have been studying English since 2018 with ESC 24x7." (The action of studying English began in 2018.)


2. "For" is used to indicate the duration of an action or event. It shows how long something has been happening or how long it lasted. 

Example: "He has been living in Pune for two years." (He has lived in Pune for a period of two years.)


In summary, "since" indicates the starting point, while "for" shows the duration of an action or event.


SINCE- We use “since” with accurate point on time.

Since+ Six o’clock, Monday, March, 2021, Morning

For- We use “for” with period of time.

For+ ten minutes, five hours, six months, five years

·       I have been studying since March.
