Question

We have been living here __________ five years.

• A. since
• B. before
• C. for
• D. about

Answer 1

Answer:

C. for

• "For" is used to indicate a duration of time, meaning how long something has been happening.
• "Since" is used to indicate the starting point of the time, not the duration.
• "We have been living here for five years." / ഞങ്ങൾ അഞ്ച് വർഷമായി ഇവിടെ താമസിക്കുന്നു.
• "Since": Would be used if the sentence indicated when the action started, e.g., "We have been living here since 2019." / ഞങ്ങൾ 2019 മുതൽ ഇവിടെ താമസിക്കുന്നു.
• So, "for" is the correct preposition to indicate the duration of five years.
