Englisch (UK) · Present Perfect

For, Since & Ago

Benutze for mit einer Zeitspanne: for two hours, for ten years, for ages. Benutze since mit dem Startpunkt: since 2018, since Monday, since I was a child. Mit dem Present Perfect drücken beide aus, wie lange etwas bis jetzt gedauert hat: I have known her for six years. I have known her since we were at school.

for + Zeitraum: funktioniert in jeder Zeitform (I lived in Rome for three years.)
since + Zeitpunkt oder Nebensatz: meist mit Present Perfect, und in It's been three years since I last saw him.
ago steht nach dem Zeitraum und wird mit Simple Past verwendet: two years ago, five minutes ago. Es zählt von jetzt zurück zu einem abgeschlossenen Moment.

Sag niemals since three years: sag for three years. Und niemals have moved here ten years ago: sag moved here ten years ago.

We moved to this town three years ago.
