Bài này giúp chúng ta ôn tập về kiến thức với since và for, đây là 2 cụm từ được dùng phổ biến gắn với thì Hiện tại hoàn thành: 

Since: Từ khi, khi, kể từ khi

để chỉ mốc thời gian mà sự việc hoặc hành động bắt đầu xảy ra, chỉ một mốc thời gian. 

since + Mệnh đề ở quá khứ / mốc thời gian. Ví dụ: since I was young (kể từ khi mình còn trẻ)

 

For: Khoảng, trong khoảng

để chỉ 1 khoảng thời gian mà sự việc hay hành động diễn ra, kéo dài trong suốt khoảng thời gian đó

for + khoảng thời gian. Ví dụ: For 5 years (trong 5 năm)

Như vậy, với since và for thì mình chỉ cần phân biệt được mốc thời gian và khoảng thời gian là có thể làm được em nhé!
