SINCE dan FOR
Sering sekali kita dibuat bingung antara penggunaan "Since dan For". Keduanya "Since dan For" sering sekali digunakan untuk menyatakan waktu terjadinya peristiwa. "Since dan For" sering sekali kita jumpai pada tense perfect khususnya present perfect.
- She has lived here since 2017.
- She has lived here for a year.
Pada dasarnya kedua penanda waktu tersebut mempunyai kesamaan yang tidak jauh berbeda, yaitu menunjukkan durasi waktu kejadian atau aktifitas.
💫Since
Since digunakan untuk menunjukkan awal waktu berlangsungnya kejadian atau aktifitas pada masa lampau (Point of time).
Dalam pola kalimat, Since biasanya digunakan pada tenses perfect (present perfect/perfect continuous). Kita tidak bisa menggunakan penanda waktu berupa "Since" pada tenses future karena seperti pada definisi atau penjelasan diatas bahwa "Since" merujuk pada kejadian atau aktifitas dimasa lalu/lampau atau past tense.
