Since vs For
Definition aur Usage
"Since" aur "for" dono hi English mein time batane ke liye use hote hain, khaaskar jab hume kisi action ka duration dikhana ho. Lekin, dono ka use alag tareeke se hota hai.
1. Since – Yeh shuru hone ka waqt ya starting point batata hai.
Ye aksar present perfect tense ke saath use hota hai (has/have + past participle (verb 3rd form)) par past perfect ke saath bhi ho sakta hai.
2. For – Yeh duration yaani kitne waqt tak ke baare mein batata hai.
Yeh dikhata hai ki koi kaam ya event kitni der tak chala hai.
Yeh bhi present perfect aur past perfect tense ke saath aksar use hota hai.
Since Kab Use Karein
"Since" ka use tab karte hain jab hume starting point yaani kis waqt se ek action ya event chalu hua tha, yeh batana ho.
Form: Present Perfect Tense (has/have + past participle / verb 3rd form)
Example:
- I have lived here since 2010.
- Main 2010 se yahan hun
Explanation: Is sentence mein bataya gaya hai ki yeh kaam (yahaan rehna) 2010 mein shuru hua tha aur ab tak chalu hai.
Examples with "Since":

- It has been raining since morning.
- Subah se barish ho rahi hai.
- We have known each other since we were in school.

For Kab Use Karein
"For" ka use tab karte hain jab hume kisi kaam ya event ka duration yaani kitne waqt tak wo chala, yeh batana ho.
Form: Present Perfect Tense (has/have + past participle / verb 3rd form)
Example:
- I have lived here for 10 years.
- Main 10 se yahan hu.
Explanation: Is sentence mein duration (10 saal) dikhaya gaya hai ki kitne waqt se yeh kaam (yahaan rehna) ho raha hai.
Examples with "For":

- Vah 5 sal se yahan kam kar rahi hai.
(Yaani duration paanch saal hai)

(Yaani duration 3 ghante hai)
- We have known each other for a long time.
- Ham ek dusre ko lambe time se jante Hain
(Yaani duration lamba time hai)
Key Differences
Since aur For ka difference aur Istemaal
- - Since ka matlab hota hai ki koi action ya ghatna kab se chalu hui thi, yaani uska starting point kya tha. Hum "since" ka istemaal tab karte hain jab hume kisi specific waqt ya din ko batana ho, jisse pata chale ki action kab se shuru hua tha aur wo action abhi tak ho raha hai ya kuch waqt tak hua tha.
Examples – Since ke saath:
- Main yahaan since 2010 se reh raha hoon.
- I have been living here since 2010.
- Usne since college ke dino se yahan kaam karna shuru kiya tha.
- He had started working here since his college days.
- Woh since subah se so raha hai.
- He has been sleeping since morning.
(Yahan pe "since morning" ka istemaal ho sakta hai)
- - For ka istemaal hum duration yaani kuch time tak ke liye karte hain. Ye ye batata hai ki koi kaam kitne waqt se ho raha hai.
Examples – For ke saath:
- Main yahaan for 10 saalon se reh raha hoon.
- I have been living here for 10 years.
- Woh pichle for teen ghanton se padh raha hai.
- Has been stating for 3 hours.
Yaad rakhne ka tarika:
Since hamesha koi ek specific waqt ya tareekh ke saath aata hai, jaise since Monday, since 2015, since morning.
For hamesha duration ke saath aata hai, jaise for 3 days, for a long time, for 2 weeks.
