Key Concepts and Their Translation in Hindi Language

In English, we use “since” and “for” to talk about time.

“Since” is used to indicate a specific point in time. In Hindi, it means .

“For” is used to indicate a duration of time. In Hindi, it means “के लिए”.

Key Mistakes

1. Do not use “since” with a duration. For example, saying "I have lived here since two years" is incorrect. Instead, say "I have lived here for two years."

2. Remember, “for” is always followed by a period of time, like days, months, or years.

3. Use “since” only when you mention a specific date or time, not a duration.
