We often use for and since when talking
about time.


for + period

For means "from the beginning of the period until the end of the period." For can be used with all tenses.

since + point

A point is a precise moment in time, for
example: 9 o'clock, 1st January, Monday.

Since means "from a point in the past until now." Since is normally used with perfect tenses.
