he doesn’t have a dog now it was only in the past I’m sorry a super common
the past I’m sorry a super common
the past I’m sorry a super common mistake with this I see it very often is
mistake with this I see it very often is
mistake with this I see it very often is with since and for let me give you an
with since and for let me give you an
with since and for let me give you an example for example this one I worked
example for example this one I worked
example for example this one I worked there since 2010 until 2012 now yes
there since 2010 until 2012 now yes
there since 2010 until 2012 now yes since gives the reference of time but
since gives the reference of time but
since gives the reference of time but it’s a reference of time in the past
it’s a reference of time in the past
it’s a reference of time in the past which still continues now so if you use
which still continues now so if you use
which still continues now so if you use since you must have a present perfect
since you must have a present perfect
since you must have a present perfect which means you must have a present
which means you must have a present
which means you must have a present perfect situation so for this it doesn’t
perfect situation so for this it doesn’t
perfect situation so for this it doesn’t work because that’s not this year so for
work because that’s not this year so for
work because that’s not this year so for this sentence don’t use since use from I
this sentence don’t use since use from I
this sentence don’t use since use from I worked there from past eight to or until
worked there from past eight to or until
worked there from past eight to or until past date just to remember since is a
past date just to remember since is a
past date just to remember since is a past date until now so let’s use my
past date until now so let’s use my
past date until now so let’s use my example again
example again
example again I have been teaching since 2007 I’m
I have been teaching since 2007 I’m
I have been teaching since 2007 I’m still a teacher now so it’s okay to use
still a teacher now so it’s okay to use
still a teacher now so it’s okay to use since so since gives the time reference
since so since gives the time reference
since so since gives the time reference in the past 2007 if I want to give the
in the past 2007 if I want to give the
in the past 2007 if I want to give the length of time I must use for so the
length of time I must use for so the
length of time I must use for so the full sentence I have been teaching since
full sentence I have been teaching since
full sentence I have been teaching since 2007 or I have been teaching for nine
2007 or I have been teaching for nine
2007 or I have been teaching for nine years that is ridiculous my god if a
