Present Perfect Continuous quiz – część 3 dotyczy słówek for i since, bez których trudno opowiedzieć, jak długo coś trwa. To jeden z najczęściej sprawdzanych punktów na egzaminie ósmoklasisty.
Present Perfect Continuous quiz – for czy since?
Zasada jest prosta, ale Polakom sprawia kłopot, bo w polsku mówimy po prostu „od”:
- for + okres czasu: for two hours, for three months, for ages
- since + punkt w czasie: since Monday, since 2020, since half past four
- since + zdanie w Past Simple: since she was ten
Przykłady: I’ve been learning to swim for three months. / They’ve been building the house since last spring.
Uważaj na typowe błędy: since two hours, from three years albo two hours ago w zdaniu z Present Perfect Continuous – wszystkie są niepoprawne.
