    The document contains 50 questions that test the proper use of the prepositions "since" and "for" when indicating a period of time something has been occurring. The questions provide scenarios and ask the reader to choose whether "since" or "for" should be used based on whether the time is ongoing or a definite period. Correct usage of these prepositions depends on understanding whether an action started in the past and continues in the present, or occurred over a specific period in the past.
