Revision: Use of since and for:
Since and for are two words that are used for similar, but not exactly the same, purposes.
Since:
  • It gives the starting point of actions, events or states, continuing until the present.
  • It refers to when things began.
  • It can only be used with the perfect tenses.
Since + a point in time (in the past) until now.
  • I've been waiting since 7 o'clock.
  • I have known him since January.
  • I have been here since 5 o'clock and I am getting tired.
  • It has been three years since the last earthquake.

For:
  • We use For when we measure the duration
  • When we say how long something lasts.
  • We can use all verb tenses with For.

For + a period of time.
  • I have known her for a long time.
  • I lived here for ten years and then moved to another place.
  • They are exercising for three hours today.

For vs. Since
Knowing when to use FOR and when to use SINCE is important.

 FOR is used to mention a specific period (or duration) of time SINCE is used to mention the starting point of a period of time (continues to now)
 I have been a doctor for fifteen years. (duration = 15 years) I have been a doctor since 1992. (starting point = 1992)


Exercise 5:
Work with a partner and discuss which blanks in the following text will have since and which ones will have for. After discussing, write the complete paragraph in your notebooks.
My father is a remarkable man. He has been working since he was 15 years old. He has been working since he was at school. He used to work for four hours every day and on weekends. He has now worked in the same factory for 25 years. Since he started working at the factory, he has been promoted many times. He was initially hired for a period of three months but he has been working there ever since. He was hired as a peon with the responsibility of making tea and delivering parcels and documents as required. He started working for Rs 25/- a day.

If he fell ill or if he was absent he did not get paid for that day. But my father was a good and committed worker. He only took off for serious emergencies, like illness and death. In fact, there were periods when he didn't take a single holiday for many months at a time. He soon earned the respect of his co-workers and boss, and since then, he has risen higher and higher. He has now worked for the same factory for 25 years. He was offered retirement when he completed 25 years, but he said that he would like to work for a few more years. He hopes he will save enough to start a small manufacturing unit of his own, in a few years' time.

Exercise 6:
Write a paragraph explaining what your three favourite hobbies or free time activities are/ were. Make sure you explain why you started, how long you have done them for, when did you start them, do you still do them, and why you like them so much.

Here is an example:
One thing I like doing during my free time is reading. I have been reading story books since I was ten years old. So, I have been reading story books for nearly six years now. Although I have been reading since I was ten years old, I think I will do it for many more years; in fact, I think I will do it for the rest of my life.
Another thing ................
Yet another thing that I did was ...............


Ans:
Another thing I love doing in my free time is writing stories. I have been writing stories since I was 14 years old. I have been writing stories for more than two years now. I have read so many stories that I have many plots of stories in my mind. I have planned to write all those ideas in the form of stories. I don't know how long it will take to write all those ideas in written form but since I have decided, I am going to do it.

Yet another thing that I did was collecting stamps. I was doing it since I was nine years old because I liked the colorful stamps at that time. But I stopped collecting stamps when I was eleven years old. I did that hobby for nearly two years. I stopped doing that because I need money to buy it.

OR

Apart from having a lot of interests and activities in life, one thing I like to do during my free time is gardening. I have been gardening since I was nine years old. So, I have been planted more than 100 different kinds of plants in my backyard garden for nearly six years now. Although I have been gardening since I was nine years old, I think I will do it for many more years; in fact, I think I will do it for the rest of my life.

Another thing I love doing in my free time is painting. It has been with me since my childhood when I used to make random pictures, portraits with colors randomly. I have been painting for more than four years now. I am deeply inspired by the life and works of the world’s famous painters including Leanardo, Pablo Piccaso and Gul jee. There are deep lessons from their lives and work for me to learn. Although I have been gold medalist in annual inter-schools drawing and art competitions for last three years. I have been trying to create some unique painting, since I have decided, I am going to do it.

Yet another thing that I did was playing cricket. I was doing it since I was seven years old because it was a healthy exercise and good physical activity, but I stopped playing cricket when I was 14 years old. I continued that hobby for nearly seven years. I have left playing cricket, since I was in class ix because I want to work hard to become a doctor now.
