小學英語語法知識點：比較since和for

　　Since 用來說明動作起始時間，for用來說明動作延續時間長度。

　　I have lived here for more than twenty years.

　　I have lived here since I was born..

　　My aunt has worked in a clinic since 1949.

　　Some new oilfields have been opened up since 1976.

　　I have known Xiao Li since she was a little girl.

　　My brother has been in the Youth League for two years.

　　I have not heard from my uncle for a long time.

　　注意：并非有for 作為時間狀語的句子都用現在完成時。

　　I worked here for more than twenty years.

　　(我現在已不在這里工作。)

　　I have worked here for many years.

　　(現在我仍在這里工作。)

　　小竅門：當現在完成時+一段時間，這一結構中，我們用下面的公式轉化，很容易就能排除非延續動詞在完成時中的誤使。

　　1)(對) Tom has studied Russian for three years.= Tom began to study Russian three years ago， and is still studying it now.

　　2)(錯) Harry has got married for six years.= Harry began to get married six years ago， and is still getting married now.顯然，第二句不對，它應改為 Harry got married six years ago.　或 Harry has been married for six years.
