Do your students know when to use ‘for’ or ‘since’ when making the present perfect?⁣
⁣
We use ‘for’ to talk about a duration or period of time. ⏳ ⁣
I have lived in this house for five years.⁣
We use ‘since’ to talk about an exact point in time. ☝️ ⁣
I have lived in this house since 2017.⁣

How long have your students known their best friend? Ask them for one answer with ‘for’ and one with ‘since’.
How do you teach the difference between ‘for’ and ‘since’? Let us know in the comments!
