The present perfect with since and for: B1- intermediate:

 

The present perfect tense with "since" is used to indicate a specific point in the past when an action started. Here are some examples: 

• "I've lived here since 2012"
• "She has lived here since 1980"
• "We have taught at this school since 1965"
• "Alice has been married since March 2nd"
• "They have been at the hotel since last Tuesday"
• "I've been ill since last Friday"
• "Farooq has drunk three cups of coffee since two o'clock"
• "I haven't eaten anything since I got up"
• "I've known Alex since primary school"

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". 

Here are some other examples of using the present perfect with "for": 

• "We haven't seen her for ages"
• "Have you lived here for more than two 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.
