    The document discusses the difference between using "for" and "since" in sentences. "For" is used to indicate a period of time, such as "for an hour" or "for many years." "Since" is used to refer to a point in time, like "since 6 o'clock" or "since last year." When using "since" in a sentence, the main clause should be in the present perfect tense and the subordinate clause after "since" should be in the past simple tense.
