“for” and “since” We use “for” and “since” to talk about the duration of time. With these words, we can say how long something has been that way. We use “for” when we are talking about a period of time (for five days, for two minutes, for a long time). I’ve been scared of mice for ten years. (I’m still scared of mice). We use “since” when we are talking about the start of a period of time (since yesterday, since 9 a.m., since September). I’ve had my cat since last year. (I still have my cat).
