Question

It has been raining since five hours(spot the error)​

Answer 1

Error in the sentence is the word "since".

• The correct sentence will be -

It has been raining for five hours.

• Since and for are prepositions often confused while being used.
• For indicates the duration of time and since indicates the beginning and continuation until now.
• Along with "for", a number and time word is used.
• Along with " since", a time or date is used.
