For and Since

- You use FOR if you don't have to calculate the period of time, because you have it in the
sentence

I have lived here FOR two months ( you don't have to calculate, you know the period is
"two months" )

- You use SINCE if you have to calculate the period of time, because you only have the
starting point

I have lived here SINCE 1975 ( you have to calculate now: if you came in 1975 - the
starting point - and now it is 2009, then 2009-1975 = 24 years )
