Which sentence correctly uses ‘since’ with the present perfect tense?
AI have lived here since five years.
BI have lived here since for two years.
CI have lived here since a long time.
DI have lived here since 2018.
Explanation
‘Since’ is used with a specific point in time, such as a particular year, date, or event, while ‘for’ is used with a duration or length of time, such as ‘five years.’ Because ‘2018’ refers to a specific starting point in time rather than a length of time, ‘since 2018’ is the grammatically correct usage, whereas ‘since five years’ incorrectly mixes the two rules.
