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

Future Perfect Continuous Tense

The future perfect continuous tense shows that something started in the past and will be continuing at the future time. The future perfect continuous is formed using the construction will have been + continuous (V1+ing).

This sense of time is a combination of perfect and continuous tense.

Will Have been (perfect tense) + actioning (continues tense)

v I will have been playing football since morning.

In this sentence, using the future perfect continuous verb tense conveys that playing football is an action that began sometime in the past and will be continue in the future. 

When we describe an action in the future perfect continuous tense, we are projecting ourselves forward in time and looking back at the duration of that activity. The activity will have begun sometime in the past, present, or in the future, and is expected to continue in the future.

Read these examples carefully: -
