FOR To express a specific duration of time, e.g.: one week, two years, an hour. For + period: a "period" is a duration of time - five minutes, two weeks, six years. For means "from the beginning of the period to the end of the period". Use the Present Perfect He has been living on this island for two years. He’s been waiting for a long time. He hasn’t spoken to anyone for two years. For can be used with all tenses. Here are a few examples: 1. They study for two hours every day. 2. They are studying for three hours today. 3. He has lived in Bangkok for a long time. 4. He has been living in Paris for three months. 5. I worked at that bank for five years.

SINCE To indicate a time, an event, or specific moment which continues into the present. since + point : a "point" is a precise moment in time - 9 o'clock, 1st January, Monday. Since means "from a point in the past until now". Use the Present Perfect I’ve been here since the shipwreck. It’s been raining since yesterday. Since is normally used with perfect tenses: He has been here since 9am. He has been working since he arrived. I had lived in New York since my childhood. We also use since in the structure "It is [period] since": It was a year since I had seen her. How long is it since you got married? It has been two months since I last saw her. It has been three years since the last earthquake.
