Since dan for keduanya digunakan untuk situasi-situasi dan tindakan-tindakan yang dimulai di masa lampau dan terus berlanjut sampai sekarang. Contoh:
  • I’ve been at home for 4 hours.
  • I’ve been at home since 12.00.
Since
Since digunakan dengan sebuah titik waktu. Contoh:
  • I’ve lived here since March.
  • I’ve been here since 9.00 this morning.
Since hanya digunakan dengan bentuk Perfect seperti Present Perfect, Past Perfect dan seterusnya – since tidak bisa digunakan bersama dengan bentuk-bentuk lainnya. Contoh:
  • I’ve studied english since last year – Benar
  • I studied / I am studying / I will study English since last year – Tidak benar
Since juga digunakan bersama dengan klausa-klausa waktu. Contoh:
  • I’ve studied English since I was at university.
  • We haven’t seen my family since we got married.
Perhatikan bahwa klausa utama menggunakan Present Perfect, dan klausa lainnya menggunakan past simple.
For
For digunakan dengan sebuah periode waktu. Contoh:
  • I’ve lived here for 9 months.
  • She’s been here for 5 hours.
Berbeda dengan since, for bisa digunakan dengan tensis-tensis selain perfect tense. Contoh:
  • I lived here for 9 months - Periode waktu ini dimulai dan berakhir di masa lampau, sekarang telah selesai.
  • I will live here for a year – Periode waktu ini akan dimulai dan berakhir di masa mendatang, sekarang belum dilakukan.
  • I have lived here for a long tome - Periode waktu ini dimulai di masa lampau dan masih terus berlanjut sampai sekarang. Belum berakhir.
