The present perfect tense is formed with the subject, "have/has" (positive) or "haven't/hasn't" (negative), and the past participle. 



In contrast, "for" is used to indicate a length of time. For example, "I've worked for this company for 20 years". 


The present perfect tense is used with "for" to describe a period of time up to the present. 


For example:


"I've worked for this company for 20 years".

  • "I have lived in Italy for two months"
  • "I have worked here for five years"
  • "We have had a dog for eight years"

The present perfect tense is formed by using the subject, "have/has" (positive) or "haven't/hasn't" (negative), and the past participle. 



"For" can also be used with the simple past, while "since" can only be used with perfect tenses. 



Have/ has past participle:


The auxiliary verbs "has" and "have" are used with past participles to form the present perfect tense: 


  • Present perfect tense: "Have" or "has" + past participle
