FOR-SINCE

For

“For” indica duración o un período de tiempo, así se puede traducir como “durante” en español. No se puede utilizar como “todo”, en el sentido de “todo el día” o “todo el tiempo”. Podemos utilizar "for*" con todos los tiempos verbales.*

 one minute (un minuto),  a few hours (unas horas),
 two weeks (dos semanas),  five months (cinco meses),
 12 years (12 años),  a long time (mucho tiempo)…

Since

“Since” se utiliza para indicar el principio de un período de tiempo que sigue al presente. Como tal, puede ser traducido como “desde” en español y se usa como un punto de tiempo específico en el pasado. Como este período de tiempo sigue al presente, solemos utilizar "since*" con los tiempos perfectos.*

 10 o’clock (a las 10 en punto),  Monday (lunes),  March (marzo),
 2005,  this morning (esta mañana),
 the beginning of the year (al principio del año),  you called (llamaste)…

Past Continuous

FORMING THE PAST CONTINUOUS

Subject
was/were
base + ing
They
were
watching
Affirmative
She
was
reading
Negative
She
wasn't
reading
Interrogative
Was
she
reading?
Interrogative negative
Wasn't
she
reading?

The past continuous of any verb is composed of two parts : the past tense of the verb "to be" (was/were), and the base of the main verb +ing.

USES OF THE PAST CONTINUOUS
We use the past continuous to talk about the past:
  • for something which happened before and after another action:
The children were doing their homework when I got home.
Compare: The children did their homework when (= after) I got home.
This use of the past continuous is very common at the beginning of a story:
The other day I was waiting for a bus when …
Last week, as I was driving to work, … 
  • for something that happened before and after a specific time:
It was eight o'clock. I was writing a letter.
Compare: At eight o'clock I wrote (= started writing) some letters.
  • to show that something continued for some time:
My head was aching.
Everyone was shouting.
  • for something that happened again and again:
I was practising every day, three times a day.
They were meeting secretly after school.
They were always quarrelling.
  • with verbs which show change or growth:
The children were growing up quickly.
Her English was improving.
My hair was going grey.
The town was changing quickly.
