GRAMMAR
PAY ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING EXAMPLES AND PRACTICE WITH SOMEONE IN THE CLASS.
The use of FOR
We use For when we measure the duration – when we say how long something lasts.
For + a period of time
To measure a period of time up to the present, we use the present perfect tense and not the present tense.
1- I have known her for a long time. (Correct)
2- I know her for a long time. (Incorrect)
3- I have lived here for ten years. (Correct)
4- I live here for ten years. (Incorrect)
The present tense with For refers to a period of time that extends into the future.
How long are you here for? (Until when)
How long have you been here for? (Since when)

My last summer
My last vacation was amazing, we had so much fun with my friends, we went to Florida and stayed at a friend’s house.
We wanted to go the beach, but it was raining that day, we hadn’t gone to the beach since 2002
Because my mom always told us that we couldn’t swim, so we didn’t go to the beach for a long time.
We played some sports for four hours and also we had some orange juice on the way home.
I guess I didn’t play sports since I got out of high school, it was boring most of the time.
But I really enjoyed our time with our friends in Florida, we talked for 3 hours, had dinner and then we watched some movies.
We never planned staying at home, and we never thought it would rain that day, but that’s all we did, I didn’t have that kind of fun since high school, I am always working and having a lot pressure on me.
Next time we will try to do it on the weekend.
