How Long? ⏳

When we talk about unfinished actions (Action started in past, continues now), we use Present Perfect with For and Since.

FOR + Duration (A length of time).
- For 20 minutes, For 3 days, For a long time, For 10 years.
- "I have lived here for 10 years."
SINCE + Starting Point (When it began).
- Since 9:00am, Since Monday, Since 1990, Since I was born.
- "I have lived here since 2014."
