Description:

English language test - intermediate. Test your use of 'since' and 'for' in present perfect sentences. Remember we use 'since' when we refer to a specific point in time (i.e. since 2001) and 'for' when talking about a time period (i.e. for ten years).

Hi Vrender. Yes you are right that Q2 and Q11 are the same. They should both be with 'since'. In Q11, because it uses 'for' the end must be a period of time, therefore 'most of the evening' is the only possible answer. An alternative could have be 'all of last night' but just 'last night' is a point in time so would need to be used with 'since'. Hope this answers your question!

Thanks guys. I'm new to WizIQ and it's great to have good feedback. I've just posted another test on passive voice and prepositions - have a go and let me know what you think. I'm not sure how to link to it here - I'm still learning!
