1. Luke has lived in this cottage **since** he was three years old. 2. I haven't done the washing **for** two weeks. I have no clean clothes. 3. We have wanted to live in a village near the sea **for** so many years! 4. Annie has been in bed **since** yesterday morning. She's really sick. 5. People have built houses out of mud **for** thousands of years. 6. My brother hasn't had a bath **for** at least six months. He prefers the shower. 7. They've had a wood-burner **for** three years and they've already saved a lot of money on heating. 8. That pasta has been in the cupboard **since** we moved into this flat four years ago. 9. Dad hasn't cut the grass **since** he lost the key to the shed. The "for" is used when we're focusing on a duration of time (like "two weeks" or "three years"), whereas "since" is used when pinpointing a specific starting point in time (like "he was three years old" or "yesterday morning"). Also, remember that using "for" and "since" correctly can help you sound more fluent! Common mistakes include confusing the two when talking about time, but once you've mastered it, you'll be on your way to speaking like a pro!
