What is the difference of since and for in telugu examples?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Have you ever wondered how to talk about an event that began in the past and continues into the present?

In English, we often use prepositions to place a noun, pronoun or noun phrase in time. This way, we can communicate the passage of time.

One common problem that English learners face is how to use prepositions of time. Two of the most common prepositions of time are for and since.

English learners often have difficulties with these two prepositions, because their native languages may use prepositions differently.

Consider the following sentences:

I've been travelling for three years.

I've been travelling since 2012.

Today, you will learn about why you should use for in the first sentence, and since in the second sentence.

For

In English, we use the preposition for to talk about an amount of time or space. The amount of time could be seconds, minutes, hours, days, months or even years.

The amount of time does not need to be exact. You could use for when you are talking about vague periods of time, like "for the weekend", "for ages" or "for a long time".

The important point is that for is used to specify a period of time.

In English, the basic formula for using for is this:

for + a period of time

For can be used when talking about the past, present or future.

Here are three example sentences that use similar vocabulary, but use different verb tenses.
