 Conclusions:
 “For” and “since” are two words that we usually associate with the present perfect.
(“For” y “since” son dos palabras que solemos asociar con el present perfect)

 “Since” is used with specific dates, with specific periods of time. In Spanish we always find the
temporal adverb “Desde” followed by a date or a period.
("Since" se usa con fechas específicas, con períodos de tiempo específicos. En español siempre
encontramos el adverbio temporal "Desde" seguido de una fecha o un periodo)
 “For” is used when the exact time an action takes place isn’t known. In Spanish we find the
temporary adverb “Durante”, followed by a period of which we don’t know exactly the
beginning or the end.
(“For” se utiliza cuando se desconoce el momento exacto en que tiene lugar una acción. En
español encontramos el adverbio temporal "Durante", seguido de un período del cual no sabemos
exactamente el principio o el final)

 We must be careful when using "for" because many times in Spanish we don't need to use the
adverb “durante”, but it’s understood.
(Debemos tener cuidado porque muchas veces en español no necesitamos usar el adverbio
DURANTE, pero se sobreentiende)
