for и since
Предлоги for и since – это предлоги времени. Они выражают длительность действия или ситуации.
Например:
Paulin: How long have you lived in Austria?

Разница между for и since
for переводится как на протяжении, в течение
since – с (какого времени), с момента
| for + промежуток времени | since + отправная точка |
| For eight hours – на протяжении восьми часов | Since Monday – с понедельника |
| For two days – в течение двух дней | Since birth — с рождения |
| For many years – на протяжении многих лет | Since his arrivаl – с момента его приезда |
Чаще всего предлоги for и since употребляются с временами Present Perfect и Present Perfect Continuous.
I have been running for 2 hours. – Я бегу уже два часа. (Present Perfect Continuous)
I have not seen you since college. – Я не видела тебя со времен колледжа. (Present Perfect)
Since употребляется в случае, если отправной точкой служит не момент времени, а другое действие.

for – в течении, на протяжении + промежуток времени
since – с, с момента + отправная точка (время или действие)
