For – Since
English Grammar Rules
The use of FOR
We use For when we measure the duration – when we say how long something lasts.
For + a period of time
To measure a period of time up to the present, we use the present perfect tense and not the present tense.
- I have known her for a long time. (Correct)
I know her for a long time. (Incorrect) - I have lived here for ten years. (Correct)
I live here for ten years. (Incorrect)
The present tense with For refers to a period of time that extends into the future.
- How long are you here for? (Until when)
- How long have you been here for? (Since when)
In reality, we can use all verb tenses with For.
Uses of For Example sentence Verb Tense
They exercise for two hours every day. Present tense They are exercising for three hours today. Present continuous
He has lived in Moscow for a long time. Present perfect He has been living in Turin for three months. Present perfect continuous
I worked at the service station for five years. Past tense He will be in hospital for at least a week. Future tense
However, we don’t use For with expressions such as all day or all the time.
- I was there all day. (Correct)
- I was there for all day. (Incorrect)
The use of SINCE
Since gives the starting point of actions, events or states. It refers to when things began.
Since + a point in time (in the past), until now.
- I’ve been waiting since 7 o’clock.
- I have known him since January.
With since we use the present perfect tense or the past perfect tense.
- I here since 5 o’clock and I am getting tired.
- I since 5 o’clock and I was getting tired.
Since can also be used in the structure It has been + period of time + since.
- It has been two months since I last saw her.
- It has been three years since the last earthquake.
For vs. Since
Knowing when to use FOR and when to use SINCE is important. Therefore it is useful to look at a summary of the contrast between FOR and SINCE.
FOR to mention a specific period (or duration) of time.
SINCE to mention the starting point of a period of time
(continues to now).
I have been a doctor for fifteen years. (duration = 15 years)
I have been a doctor since 1992. (starting point = 1992)
She has been a mother for six months.
She has been pregnant since her first child was born.
My sister has lived in Frankfurt for nine months.
My sister has lived in Frankfurt since the beginning of March.
Both For and Since are most commonly used with the perfect tense – we don’t use these expressions in the present tense.
Correct Incorrect
I have learnt Russian for three years.
I learn Russian for three years.
They have taught geography since last year.
They teach geography since last year.
He has owned his dog since his cat died.
He owns his dog since his cat dies.
While we can use For in the simple past tense we can’t use Since
in the simple past tense. Since can only be used in the perfect tense.
Correct
Incorrect
She went to Japan for three years. She went to Japan since 2003.
I studied in New Zealand for one month. I studied in New Zealand since one month.
He walked his dog for four hours. He walked his cat since four hours.
It should be remembered that both For and Since have other meanings in English that are not associated with time.
- This is for you.
- Is this the train for London?
- Since you asked, I’ll say yes.
- Since he didn’t study he didn’t pass the exam.

We need your continued support so we can continue this humble program of ours.
We need people like you so we can reach poor Filipino families, one at a time.
I’ve been helping and reaching my fellow Filipinos for more than a decade, since 2006, but without recording it on film.
I just decided to film the activities we do in 2015 to spread awareness.
This time guys: I need your help. I need your helping hands to give joy to Filipino families, one at a time.
How it works:
Your contribution goes straight to the individual/family we reach/help.
After we reached/helped 1 individual/family: We then move on to help another.
Our objective is to reach 1 economically poor individual/family, one at a time.
Important notes:
1. I personally don’t receive/get/take/pocket any amount of financial contributions from you guys.
Your contributions go straight to the families we reach and to other expenses.
2. I do not publish on youtube the stories of the families we reach w/o a signed release agreement and parental/guardian consent.
The release agreement gives me a permission to publish their stories on youtube.
3. Business, personal and GoFundMe fundraiser accounts: All the funds, contributions, sources of income and other monetary sources that go into my accounts are being reported to the taxman. My bank also reports to the taxman every year, by the end of the year, FYI.
There’s a Certified Public Accountant who does the accounting and auditing of my accounts.
The Certified Public Accountant reports to the taxman.
4. You don’t need to open and register a charitable organization/foundation/institution to give help to people in the Philippines.
Reaching and giving help to people in the Philippines is not illegal.
There’s no law that states, that you need to open and register a charitable organization/foundation/institution first, before you are able to give help to people legally.
5. GoFundMe checks the fundraiser account from time to time.
They sometimes ask for verification and validation.
The reason why I upload films about poverty in the Philippines is to spread awareness.
To combat economic inequality, social injustice, oppressions, repressions, abuses and exploitations:
1st: We have to be aware.
2nd: We have to pay attention.
3rd: We have to do something about it.
We as Filipinos and citizens of this planet should not turn a blind eye, not to play deaf and not to pretend mute.
We as human beings have a responsibility to give care and to show compassion to others.
We as citizens have a great responsibility to safeguard our ball of genuine democracy.
We as citizens have a responsibility to fight tyranny and corruption.
Wake up my fellow citizens!
Again my friends, thank you very much…
Yours,
MARK
شرح Since و For | الفرق بين المضارع التام والمضارع التام المستمر !
اختبر نفسك وحل الـ Quiz من هنا : https://goo.gl/JNW7KQ
Since و For من الحاجات اللي ساعات بتلغبط الناس والطلبه بالأخص . ايه الفرق بينهم وايه الفرق في الاستخدامات وامته أصلا بنستخدمهم ؟!
الصراحه الإجابه بسيطه جدا ويمكن إختصارها في جملتين :
Since و For معناهم [ منذ أو لمدة ]
واللي بيجي بعد Since هي بداية الفتره الزمنيه
واللي يجي بعد For هي الفتره الزمنيه نفسها
يعني مثلا : I have been studying since 10 A.M
معناها اني بذاكر منذ الساعه العاشره صباحا
و I have been studying for 2 hours.
معناها اني بذاكر منذ ساعتين
هتلاحظ ان اللي جه بعد Since هي بداية فترة المذاكره ( وقت محدد )
اما اللي جه بعد For هي الفتره نفسها (ساعتين)
الكلام عن Since و For هيودينا للكلام عن زمنين مهمين جدا وهما :
المضارع التام Present Perfect
المضارع التام المستمر Present Perfect Continuous
ان شاء الله شرح since و for بالاضافه للفرق بين الزمنين في الفيديو

FOR and SINCE | English grammar class
In this English grammar class, I give you the explanation about how to use FOR and SINCE.
En esta lección de inglés, Te doy la explicación de cómo usar FOR y SINCE.
We use FOR to describe a period of time (duration) from the past present or future. We can use it with any verb tense.
We use SINCE with a point in time from the past. We use it mainly with the perfect tenses, in particular with the present perfect and present perfect continuous.
\”since\” gives the starting point. It defines when things began or started.
Examples of points in time are: yesterday, last week, 5 days ago, 2010 and many more.
We often use these 2 words when answering a question like \”How long have you been doing something?\”
In this English lesson with subtitles, I also show you some common mistakes and I correct them.
At the end of the video, there is a quiz to test your understanding.
