Hi
Team,
Greetings!
Yes,
I’m back.J
And this time, with an effort to make our Language error free
to a little extent.
English,
the only language with which we communicate, is a wonderful language, but is also
tricky. It is fraught with traps that we all frequently fall into. So, with
this Learning Exercise, I hope to clear up a few of them. Thus, I’ll share 10
errors that we frequently make, and we should get rid off at the earliest.
So,
all you XYZ-ians, brace yourself up; here comes the #lesson 1:
For, and not
Since.
I’m
sure you all have heard someone saying, “I’ve been working in XYZ since
3 years.”
Whenever
we’ve to address duration, we make the mistake of using the preposition Since
which is completely incorrect. It should be the preposition For.
(Since is only used when we have the specific point in time when the
action started: I’ve been working in XYZ since 2009.)
It
rather should be, “I’ve been working in XYZ for 3 years.”
If you like please make comment or share this link.
