Here is a quick article to help you make the difference between Since and For

Since and for both relate to when events happen.

Since

Use since to indicate the beginning of a time period until the present. Since can only be used with the perfect tenses.

  • I have known him since September.
  • Amanda hasn’t been there since she was 20


For

Use for when you’re talking about how long something happens. For can be used with all tenses.

  • I have known him for 2 months.
  • Amanda hasn’t been there for 10 years.
