    Present Perfect Tense - For and Since

    We use Present Perfect tense to talk about action which started in the past and continues up to the present. Examples I have had this computer for about a year. How long have you been at this school? I haven't seen Julia since September. Tip! For other uses of the Present Perfect tense, see the Present Perfect Tense - When To Use. We use for with a period of time, for example: a few days, half an hour, two years. We use since with the time when the action started, for example: last year, June 8, I met you. Exercise. Do we use for or since with the following time references?
