Dear Mr. Alan/Torsten
"since" is used to show particular time in the past until a later time, or until now
and "for" is used for not a specific time.
and these are mostly used with Present Perfect continuous/Past Perfect continuous
Can we use them with simple present continuous tenses or any other sentence or they are just specified with (Present Perfect continuous/Past Perfect continuous)
Thanks in advance |

| Could you explain, please, the meaning of the expression: "the duration of the activity is being considered". What is other words for "is beeing considered"? |

| Well, Present Perfect would be I have heard. The tense you are referring to is Present Perfect Continuous (or Present Perfect Progressive): I have been hearing. |
i think your answer is wrong. |

No, Mohammad, Torsten's verb forms are perfectly correct. Please be sure of your grammar before you start posting answers or correcting other members' posts.
I see that this is your first post here. As do all forum sites, we suggest that new members spend a little time browsing through our forums and reading a lot of threads before they start posting themselves.
Thank you. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Hi Torsten It was very interesting, how can I know a bit more about present perfect, present perfect passive, present continuous passive and the differences between them?
Thanks in advance |

This is a very general question, Mahak, and one that we cannot answer in depth here. If you do a google search for each of those phrases, you will find a lot of explanation and examples, as for instance HERE and HERE. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

I don't believe that there is anything more to tell you, then, unless you have specific questions about specific sentences or contexts. _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Where did you read or hear the phrase 'this grammars'? I guess you have never read or heard it so why do you use it? _________________ Test Of English for International Communication TOEIC Preparation & TOEIC Vocabulary |
