Answer 1

Respuesta:

Hola!!

• My sister has worked in Bogota for two years.
• I have had this jacket for four months.
• They have been on holiday for three weeks.

Explicación:

For significa "desde hace" o "durante" y se usa con un período de tiempo, por ejemplo: ten minutes, two hours, one day, a month, a year, a long time....

Example:

*I've waited for an hour / I've been waiting for an hour (he esperado durante una hora / llevo esperando una hora)

*She has lived in Alicante for a long time (ella vive en alicante desde hace mucho)

*We've worked in the same company for two years (trabajamos en la misma empresa desde hace dos años)

Since significa "desde" o "desde que" y se usa para señalar un momento concreto en el tiempo, por ejemplo:  10 o’clock, Tuesday, 2nd January, August, 200, we arrived, I was ten years old....  

Example:

*I haven't eaten anything since 10 o'clock (no he comido nada desde las 10)

*We haven't seen each other since 2001 (no nos hemos visto desde 2001)

*I've lived in Spain since I was ten years old (vivo en España desde que tenía 10 años).
