Use of 'Since' and 'from' in spoken English


Key Concepts and Their Translation in Hindi Language

The words 'since' and 'from' are often used in English to talk about time.

'Since' is used to indicate a specific point in time when something started. In Hindi, it translates to 'से'.

'From' is used to indicate the starting point of a period, but it does not specify when it started. In Hindi, it translates to 'से' as well, but it is used differently.

Key Mistakes

A common mistake is using 'since' with a period of time. For example, saying "I have worked here since five years" is incorrect. It should be "I have worked here for five years." Remember, use 'since' for a specific time and 'from' for a starting point in a period.
