1. PRESENT PERFECT WITH “SINCE” AND “FOR”
2. PRESENT PERFECT WITH “SINCE” AND “FOR” • In the present perfect tense, we use “for” to express a duration of time. And “since” to mark a specific starting point of an action or state that continues into the present.
4. SINCE AND FOR • since = point in time (we know when it began) • for = period of time (we only know the length, not the exact start) • “I haven’t seen you since last week” → you know exactly when it started • “I haven’t seen you for a week” → you don’t say which week, just the amount of time (7 days).
