3. For and Since
- We use for and since with the past perfect to indicate the duration of a past state or a past action.

- We use for to refer to the period of time a state or an action has lasted, without referring to the exact moment when it began.

Ex: Liz Potts has worked as a cool hunter for several years.

- We use since to refer to the specific moment when a state or an action began.
Ex: How many pairs of sneakers have you bought since last year?
