GRAMMAR
since, for
Use since to say that something started at a point in time in the past, and is or was still continuing:
He has been living in Leeds since 1998.
We’ve known about it since May.
Since is usually followed by a time expression ('last year', 'this morning', '4 o'clock' etc) or by a clause in the simple past tense. Use the present perfect or the past perfect in the other clause:
He had been seriously ill since Christmas.
I have loved movies since I first went to the cinema.
Speakers of British English usually say it is a long time/two weeks etc since ..., and speakers of American English it has been a long time/two weeks etc since ..., but both uses are correct:
It’s weeks (BrE)/It’s been weeks (AmE) since I saw Grandma.
Use for when you state the length of time that something has been or had been happening:
We have known each other for ten years (NOT since ten years).
