Notes
For is used a period of time. E.g. for two months, for a long time, for 2 hours etc. Since is
used with the starting point of a period of time. E.g. since yesterday, since morning, since
1990 etc.
The adjectives inferior, superior, junior, senior etc., are followed by to and not than.
We do not normally use a preposition with reach.
