Use (Verwendung)
We use the present perfect with for and since to talk about an event which started in the past and still continues. It connects a time in the past with the present.
Wir gebrauchen das Present Perfect mit for und since um über Ereignisse zu sprechen, die in der Vergangeheit angefangen haben und bis heute andauern. Es verbindet eine Zeit in der Vergangeheit mit der Gegenwart.
Form
We form the present perfect with the verb to have and the past participle of the main verb.
since – used with a definite point in time, e.g. since 2003
for – used to talk about a duration, e.g. for 2 years
Das Present Perfect wird mit dem Verb to have und dem Partizip Perfekt des Hauptverbs gebildet.
since – wird benutzt, wenn man sich auf einen bestimmten Zeitpunkt in der Vergangenheit bezieht: Jahreszahl, Monat, Tag, Datum, Ereignis usw.,, z.B. since 2009 (“seit 2003”).
for – wird benutzt, wenn man sich auf einen Zeitraum bezieht, z.B. for 2 years (“zwei Jahre lang”).
