Answer 2

The words "since" and "for" are used to express the duration of time in English. "Since" is used to indicate the start of a period up to the present, while "for" is used to specify a period of time.

1. "We've been here since 5 July." Here, "since" is used to indicate the start of the period (5 July) up to the present.

2. "Mary's been on holiday for six weeks." In this case, "for" is used to specify the duration of Mary's holiday (six weeks).

3. "They have known each other since many years." Here, "since" is used to indicate the start of the period (many years ago) up to the present.

4. "She's been a smoker for she left university." In this case, "for" is used to specify the duration of the action (being a smoker) from the time she left university up to the present.

5. "I've enjoyed playing football for I was at school." Here, "for" is used to specify the duration of the action (playing football) from the time the speaker was at school up to the present.

6. "We've had our dog for the last six years." In this case, "for" is used to specify the duration of the action (having the dog) from the time they got the dog up to the present.

In summary, both "since" and "for" are used to express the duration of time, but "since" is used to indicate the start of a period up to the present, while "for" is used to specify a period of time.
