For vs since

英文原文:
Hi guys, this is Kee from BBC Learning English. Today I'm going to tell you how to use 'for' and 'since'.
We use 'for' to describe how long an activity or a situation lasts. For example, I can say 'I go running every day for 10 minutes' – that's not true though.
On the other hand, 'since' is used to describe when an activity or a situation began. For example, I can say 'I have been recording this video since 10 o'clock'.
So, remember 'for' is used to describe how long an activity or a situation lasts, whereas 'since' is used to describe when an activity or a situation began.
It's easy, isn't it?

大家好,我是BBC Learning English的Kee。今天我將告訴你們?nèi)绾问褂谩癴or”和“since”。
我們使用“for”來描述一個活動或情況持續(xù)的時間。例如,我可以說“我每天跑步10分鐘”- 雖然這不是真的。
另一方面,“since”用于描述一個活動或情況開始的時間。例如,我可以說“我從10點開始錄制這個視頻”。
因此,請記住,“for”用于描述一個活動或情況持續(xù)的時間,而“since”用于描述一個活動或情況開始的時間。
很簡單,不是嗎?
