    The document discusses the use of "since" and "for" with the present perfect tense to indicate periods of time. It states that "for" is used with a period of time (e.g. "for 2 years") while "since" is used with the start of a period (e.g. "since 2012"). It provides examples of using each, such as "I have waited for this concert for 2 years" and "I have waited for this concert since 2012", to illustrate how "for" and "since" can be used with the present perfect to talk about durations of time.
