Latihan Penggunaan Since dan For dalam Present Perfect Tense

Bentuk waktu yang digunakan untuk menyatakan suatu peristiwa/ perbuatan yang telah selesai terjadi atau dilakukan pada masa lampau dengan waktu yang tidak tertentu dan masih ada hubungannya dengan waktu sekarang adalah  bentuk Present Perfect Tense. Penanda waktu dalam Present Perfect biasanya tidak disebutkan secara spesifik layaknya simple past tense. Namun ada pula ddigunakan penanda waktu seperti since dan for dalam present Perfect. 


Bentuk since dan for sama- sama untuk menunjukkan keterangan waktu. Tetapi, Ada perbedaan penggunaan diantara kedua kata tersebut. For diartikan selama, menunjukkan arti lamanya jangka (durasi) waktu hingga kini, karenanya, For selalu diikuti oleh sejumlah jangka waktu tertentu.

Contohnya,
  1. for a week
  2. for three months
  3. for six days
  4. for a long time, dst.
Sedangkan since (sejak), menunjukkan arti suatu saat tertentu pada waktu lampau hingga sekarang. 
Misalnya,
  1. since November
  2. since the last five years
  3. since 1989
Contoh kalimat,
  • I haven't seen you since Saturday.
  • He hasn't seen me for a week
  • I have lived in Semarang since 2000.
  • They have built the monument since August.
Untuk lebih jelasnya lagi, kita coba kerjakan latihan soalnya yaa..Semoga Bermanfaat.
