For vs. During
We use 'for' and 'during' to indicate time but there are differences between them. In this lesson, we will learn their uses and differences.
What Is Their Main Difference?
Talking about Duration
'For' is used to talk about the duration of the occurrence of an action or event. Have a look:
I have known him
He was in the hospital
Talking about a Time Period
'During' is used when we are sharing extra information about actions and events within a time period. We also use it to say how long an action or event lasts. For example:
He was in the hospital
What did you do
