Since और For वाले English Sentences

अगर आप English सीख रहे हैं, तो since और for का सही इस्तेमाल बहुत जरूरी है। ये दोनों शब्द अक्सर time बताने के लिए आते हैं, लेकिन इनका मतलब एक जैसा नहीं होता। Beginner learners कई बार इन्हें एक-दूसरे की जगह इस्तेमाल कर देते हैं, जिससे sentence गलत लग सकता है। इस guide में हम simple Hindi में समझेंगे कि since और for कब use करना है, कैसे sentence बनाना है, और किन common mistakes से बचना है।

Since और For का basic फर्क

• Since = किसी starting point से लेकर अब तक
• For = किसी duration / period of time के लिए

आसान याद रखने का तरीका

• since के साथ अक्सर specific time आता है: yesterday, 2020, Monday, सुबह 8 बजे
• for के साथ अक्सर time period आता है: two hours, three days, five years

Since के साथ sentences

जब आप यह बताना चाहते हैं कि कोई काम कब से चल रहा है, तब since use करें।

Examples

• I have lived here since 2019.
• She has worked here since Monday.
• We have known each other since childhood.
• He has been sick since yesterday.
• The shop has been closed since 10 a.m.

यहाँ ध्यान दें कि since के बाद कोई exact starting point आता है।

For के साथ sentences

जब आप यह बताना चाहते हैं कि कोई काम कितने समय से चल रहा है, तब for use करें।

Examples

• I have lived here for five years.
• She has worked here for two months.
• We have waited for an hour.
• He has studied English for a long time.
• They have been friends for many years.

यहाँ for के बाद time period दिया गया है, not a starting point.

Since और For के साथ present perfect tense

Since और for का सबसे common use present perfect और present perfect continuous tense में होता है।

Present perfect examples

• I have known him since 2020.
• She has read this book for two days.

Present perfect continuous examples

• I have been learning English since January.
• He has been studying for three hours.
