Bevor wir uns mit den Übungen befassen, möchte ich Ihnen einen kurzen Überblick über die Verwendung von ‚for‘ und ’since‘ in der englischen Sprache geben.
Wenn Sie sagen wollen, wie lange etwas andauert, verwenden Sie ‚for‘. Zum Beispiel:
I have been studying English for two years.
Wenn Sie sagen wollen, wann etwas begann, verwenden Sie ’since‘. Zum Beispiel:
I have been studying English since September.
