Present perfect with FOR and SINCE

The question words how long? and since when? , and the prepositions for and since are used with the present perfect tense to express that something started in the past and is still true. How long? and for refer to an incomplete period of time, while since when? and since refer to a point in time:

I have lived here for two months . I have lived here since January . " How long have you known José?" "For ten years." " Since when have you known José?" "Since the early 1990s."

The point in time after since can also be expressed with a clause containing a verb in the past simple:

I have lived here since I was born . I've known José since we were young .

Grammar - Present Perfect with 'for' and 'since'

LESSON OVERVIEW

With this lesson plan, students learn how to create sentences in Present Perfect with for and since , and when to use them. They also watch a video about a 12-year-old painter and practise using the tense .

VIDEO & PRESENT PERFECT WITH FOR AND SINCE

The lesson starts with a short discussion activity in which students use some adjectives to describe themselves when they were 12 years old. Before watching the video, students think about three things they would like to know about the 12-year-old-painter from the video. Then, they watch the video for the first time to check if their questions were answered . Before the second viewing, students try to complete the information about the painter. Then, they watch the video again and check or complete their answers. After that, students discuss the questions about the painter. Then, they read five sentences about the video and complete two tables to understand how Present Perfect is formed. They also complete the rules of using Present Perfect with for and since . 

PRESENT PERFECT PRACTICE

In this part of the lesson students practise the new language by doing three different activities. Their first task is to complete nine sentences with the correct forms of verbs in Present Perfect. The exercise contains examples of affirmative, negative and interrogative sentences. Then, students take note of the date and time of their class. They look at the sentences again and change for to since and since to for . They also need to make any necessary changes to the sentences. Finally, students use Present Perfect with for and since to talk about the things in their lives that started in the past and are still true now (e.g. How long have you studied English? ). They use provided clues (e.g. work in your company, be in this lesson ). This way, they practise using questions, affirmatives, as well as the use of for and since .

Present Perfect Tense | Simple or Continuous? | FOR & SINCE

Share video

Lesson overview.

In this lesson, we’ll fix some common grammar mistakes made by English students when using the present perfect tense! You’ll learn when to use the present perfect simple and when to use the present perfect continuous.

I’ll also show you how to use ‘for’ and ‘since’ with the present perfect tenses. Both of these words explain how long something has been happening. So, when you want to give more information about the amount of time that an action has been happening for – the duration of the action – you can use FOR or SINCE.

Video Transcript Section 1 Hello I’m Emma from mmmEnglish!

A couple of weeks ago, I created a lesson about the present perfect tense. What it looks like, how to use it and all of that good stuff!

I talked about when to use the present perfect simple tense and when to use the past simple tense. Now if you missed it, you can check it out right here .

But after watching that lesson, many of you asked me  “So when do we use the present perfect simple tense and when do we use the present perfect continuous tense?”

A lot of you also asked,  “So when do you use these words ‘since’ and ‘for’?”

Now, both of these questions are really important questions when you’re using the present perfect tense in English. So, in this video I’m going to answer both of those questions.

This channel is all about speaking and communicating confidently in English and I know that fixing some of these common grammar errors is an important part of helping you to feel confident when you’re using English so that when you do speak, you can express yourself clearly and automatically.

So let’s start by talking about the present perfect simple tense and the present perfect continuous tense.

• They have eaten the pizza.

So this is the present perfect simple tense. We have the auxiliary verb, have, with our main verb in past participle form.

• They have been eating the pizza.

Now this is the present perfect continuous tense. We still have the auxiliary verb, have, but now we have the word, been, and our main verb in a continuous or progressive form.

So when you compare these two sentences, the main difference is that the first one tells us that the action finished in the past, there is no more pizza, now in the present.

The second sentence – the present perfect continuous tense – suggests that there is still pizza left now. They haven’t eaten all of the pizza, yet.

We can use either of these tenses to talk about events that happened in the past but they’re somehow connected to the present.

• She has borrowed our car.

So this is an action that happened in the past but it’s important to the present because we don’t have a car right now. We’re focused on the result when we’re using the present perfect simple.

• She’s been borrowing our car every Thursday.

Now, this sentence suggests that the action is still happening. So next Thursday, she’ll probably borrow the car again. So here, our focus is on the action. The action is unfinished.

Now the present perfect continuous is your best choice when the focus is on an activity that is unfinished.

So let’s compare another example.

• I’ve searched the internet for more information.

Now this sentence suggests that you’re not searching anymore. The action finished in the past but it’s important to the present because right now, in this moment, we don’t have the information.

• I’ve been searching the internet for more information.

This sentence suggests that you’re still doing it, you haven’t given up yet and you’re still looking for the information now.

Let’s try another example.

• We’ve written an essay about climate change.

The action here is finished. It’s in the past, we’ve already completed it. So you can also say we wrote an essay about climate change using the past simple but to connect it to the present and make it important to the present, you need to use the present perfect tense.

Think about if you were with a group of scientists Think about if you were with a group of scientists show them that you were knowledgeable about the topic of climate change. You can connect your past experience to the present using the present perfect tense. Writing the essay is part of your life experience now.

We’ve been writing an essay about climate change  suggests that you’re still doing it. The essay is not finished yet, you’re still working on it at the moment, in the present.

• I have been studying Spanish.

This is an unfinished action – I’m still doing it. The continuous form makes it clear that the action is still happening. I’m still studying in this moment.

• I have studied French.

By using the present perfect tense here, it suggests that the action happened regularly in the past, but that it doesn’t happen in the moment. But by using this tense – not the past simple tense – I’m suggesting that somehow it’s meaningful or relevant to the present. Like, I know a little French. I’m not studying it at the moment but I know a little.

Okay this last example is a little more difficult to explain and understand. There are a few verbs in English like the verb, live and work , where the difference between the present perfect simple and the present perfect continuous is less clear. But I’m going to try and explain it for you now.

• I’ve lived here for five years.
• I’m from Melbourne originally, but I’ve been living here for five years. 

So both of these sentences use the adverb, for, to give us more information about how long the action has been happening for, the duration of time. But to understand the difference, we need to think about these examples in slightly different ways.

The present perfect simple, I have lived , suggests that the action is a permanent thing. The present perfect continuous often tells us that the action is a more temporary thing. It’s not as permanent. It suggests that I might live somewhere else, in the future.

Okay, how do you feel about the present perfect simple and the present perfect continuous tenses now? Hopefully a littler clearer!

Now, we’re going to focus on those two adverbs that you can use with these tenses. Now there’s quite a few adverbs that you can use with the present perfect tenses like:

But in this lesson, we’re going to focus on for and since.  Both of these words are used with the present perfect tenses and the past perfect tenses. And both of these words explain how long something has been happening for, it’s a duration of time.

So when you’re using the present perfect tense and you want to give more information about the amount of time that the action’s been happening for, you can use the words “for” and “since”.

Now it’s important to remember that the word “since”  can only be used with the perfect tenses but the word “for”, can be used in other tenses as well when you want to give more information about the time it took to do something.

So these two important words can be easily confused, in the present perfect. Using the wrong one is a very common mistake for English learners.

We use the word “for” with a period of time. Okay so like, three days, this is a period of time. So I want to show you on a timeline how this works.

This is today. This is Sunday. And this point in our timeline is Thursday. This is when the action happened or it started happening. So the focus is on this period of time, here. So the focus is on this period of time, here. For three days. For three months. For an hour. For an hour. For a long time.

Even though we’re not talking about a specific amount of time, this reference refers to a period of time, a long period of time. So we still need to use “for”.

Now let’s add this to some of the examples in the present perfect structure.

• We have lived in London for six years.
• He has borrowed my car for three days.
• They’ve been waiting for an hour.

Now, you need to use “since” with a specific moment in the past – with a specific point in time.

So let’s go back to our timeline to talk about it. So today’s Sunday, here we are on Sunday and this is the point when the action happened and this is the point when the action happened or it started happening.

This point is Thursday so we can say that we’ve been doing the action since Thursday. So the focus is on the point in time when the action happened or it began.

So, since I lived in Brazil. Or since 3 o’clock. Since 1992. Since last week.

So let’s add “since” to the present perfect structure.

• I have lived here since I was a child.
• I’ve been working here since April.
• They’ve been waiting since 9:00 a.m.
• I’ve had these pens since I was at school!
• I’ve been expecting the parcel since last Tuesday!

These structures with “for” and “ since ” are really useful when answering questions that start with “how long”:

• How long have you been travelling?
• I’ve been travelling since June.
• I’ve been travelling for 3 months.

So make sure that you’re always listening for the clues in a question, like this, “ how long”. If someone’s asking how long, then you can use these words “for” and “since”  to give your answers in the present perfect.

Well that’s it for this lesson! Even though the present perfect tenses can be frustrating at times, be patient while you’re perfecting it. Don’t just use the past simple tense because it’s easier. I want you to really take the time to practise the present perfect, because it allows you to be so much more expressive with your English.

And the more often that you do it, the more naturally it will come to you.

Try this exercise to test your grammar.

Present perfect: Grammar test 1

Read the explanation to learn more.

Grammar explanation

We use the present perfect simple ( have or has + past participle) to talk about past actions or states which are still connected to the present.

Unfinished time and states

We often use the present perfect to say what we've done in an unfinished time period, such as today, this week, this year, etc., and with expressions such as so far , until now , before , etc.

They've been on holiday twice this year. We haven't had a lot of positive feedback so far. I'm sure I've seen that film before.

We also use it to talk about life experiences, as our life is also an unfinished time period. We often use never in negative sentences and ever in questions.

I've worked for six different companies. He's never won a gold medal. Have you ever been to Australia?

We also use the present perfect to talk about unfinished states, especially with for , since and how long .

She's wanted to be a police officer since she was a child. I haven't known him for very long. How long have you had that phone?

Finished time and states

If we say when something happened, or we feel that that part of our life is finished, we use the past simple.

We visited Russia for the first time in 1992. I went to three different primary schools. Before she retired, she worked in several different countries.

We also use the past simple for finished states.

We knew all our neighbours when we were children. I didn't like bananas for a really long time. Now I love them!

Past actions with a result in the present

We can use the present perfect to talk about a past action that has a result in the present.

He's broken his leg so he can't go on holiday. There's been an accident on the main road, so let's take a different route. They haven't called me, so I don't think they need me today.

Again, if we say when it happened, we use the past simple.

He broke his leg last week so he can't go on holiday.

However, we often use the present perfect with words like just , recently , already , yet and still .

We've recently started going to the gym. She's already finished season one and now she's watching season two. Have you checked your emails yet?

Do this exercise to test your grammar again.

Present perfect: Grammar test 2

Language level

Can I use the present perfect tense in the sentence below?

Her rude attitude at the party yesterday has made me feel very angry until now.

• Log in or register to post comments

Hello Khangvo2812,

Grammatically the sentence is correct. Her behaviour is in a past time period ('yesterday') but your feeling is in a present time period ('until now'), so the present perfect is possible. Using the phrase 'until now' suggests that this is about to change or has just changed: ...angry until now but I'm calming down now.

The LearnEnglish Team

Can I use the present perfect in the sentence below?

I'm not sure the toilet I'm about to talk about is the same toilet that you have shown us. A few years ago , I saw a men's toilet in an art gallery which had been taken to an auction and one of the critics at the auction offered several hundred million dollars for it?

Yes, it's possible to use the present perfect here. The past simple would also work in many contexts. Which form is best depends on the speaker or writer's perspective, which is explained in general on our Talking about the past page.

Best wishes, Kirk LearnEnglish team

Can I say that I used the present perfect there as the action of showing happened at an unidentified time in the past?

Hello again Khangvo2812,

Yes, that's possible. It was shown at some unidentified point in the past and that act is relevant now.

I need help with such a sentence: "Where have you bought this jacket? I love it!" or should it be: "Where did you buy it? I love it!"

Hello BeataBB,

The past simple form ('Where did you buy it?') is the best form here. Even if you bought the jacket very recently, that action is completed and generally not relevant to the time of speaking.

Hello, thank you so much for the answer and explanation. What I thought was that the comment "I love it" suggests the result of an action and that made the example a little bit misleading . As I assume - it has no impact on the choice od Perfect because the purchase was done once and definitely in some past moment? Or is the sentence "I love it" of an importance anyway??? I'd love to hear explanation from you as a native speaker 🙂

You are right in thinking that saying 'I love it' brings some focus to the present moment and you are also right in thinking that it could be relevant. In this case, though, I would say that the connection between the action of the other person buying the jacket and your loving it isn't direct enough for the present perfect to make sense.

Hope this helps!

Grammar Unit16Present Perfect: for and since

Unit 16Present Perfect: since and for Overview Unit 16 focuses on the uses of the present perfect with since and for. The present perfect describes something that began in the past and continues into the present (and may continue into the future). It is used with since to show when something started and for to show how long a present condition has lasted.

Present Perfect: Since and For Present perfect Examples Bob has lived in California since 1995. His friends have lived in Brazil for about 30 years. He’s lived in California since 1995. They’ve lived in Brazil for about 30 years. • 2 words are needed for the present perfect • The present perfect is formed with have + past participle • The present perfect with for and since expresses things that began in the past and continue into the present. • Have and has are contracted in everyday speech-especially after pronouns. • The contraction for has is the same as for be: he’s, she’s, it’s. Use of the past participle marks the present perfect.

Negative present perfect Negative present perfect examples Bob and Jen have not married. They haven’t married. Bob has not stopped since then. He hasn’t stopped since then. • Negative present perfect is formed with the form of have + not + past participle • The contractions are haven’t of hasn’t + past participle.

Questions Yes/no and wh- questions Examples Has he won any prizes? Yes, he has. Or No, he hasn’t. How long has he been a skater? Since 1991. • Yes/no questions are formed with the form of have + subject + past participle. • Wh- questions are formed with a wh- word + form of have+ subject + past participle.

Note 1 Present perfect with for and since Examples I have been a teacher since 2003. I started being a teacher in 2003, and I’m still a teacher. • Expresses something that started in the past and continues into the present.

Note 2 Since Examples Since July Since spring Since I graduated Since last week Since they were born Since my parents moved here • Since is used + a point in time. • A point in time can be expressed with a time clause. • The underlined phrases are time clauses.

Note 3 For Examples For three hours For several weeks For two months For a year I have lived here since 2003. = I have lived here for 7 years. • For is used + a length of time. • For + a length of time can express the same idea as since + a point in time.

I have had this watch for one day. • He has worked here since last Monday. • She has lived in Tokyo since January. • They have been in medical school since 2004. • I have had this watch since yesterday.

Note 4 Regular and Irregular Verbs Examples They have worked for a big company for several years. They have been here for two hours. • The verb workis a regular verb because it forms the past participle by adding –ed. • Be is an irregular verb because neither the past form nor the past participle are formed by adding –ed.
