Since vs. For

Key Differences

Since is typically employed to refer to a specific point in time from which an action, event, or condition began and continues to the present. For example, "Since 2010, the company has grown significantly." In contrast, For indicates the duration of time that something has been happening. For instance, "For ten years, the company has been growing."

Usage in Sentences: When using Since, it specifies the commencement time of an action or state and is often used with perfect tenses. "I have lived here since January." For, however, denotes the length of time an action has continued and can be used with various tenses. "I have lived here for three months."

Whereas For is suitable when emphasizing the duration or amount of time of an ongoing situation or action. "She has taught at the university for over a year."
