Talking about time - for / since / during. Do you know which one to use? FOR for is used when we say the number of hours, days, months, etc. It is also used when we use expressions related to time, for example for ages and for a long time. John is going to be the President for the next three years. Jill only went to the zoo for four hours. SINCE Use since when we say when something started (e.g. last week , May, 5 oclock). The action is still on-going. Ive lived in Bali since May 2013. Nyoman has worked at IALF since 1990.. Hes been waiting since 3pm. DURING during is used with nouns (e.g. May, the film, the afternoon). The time indicated is usually completed. During his holiday John went to see his friends in Malang. During the festival it is common to see many fancy costumes.
