“for”和“since”在现在完成时中的用法如下：
“for”用于表示一个时间段，即动作持续的时间长度。
它通常与表示时间的名词（如年、月、日、小时等）连用，表示某个动作或状态持续了多长时间。
例如：“I have lived here for five years.”（我已经在这里住了五年了。
）
“since”用于表示一个时间点，即动作开始的时间。
它通常与表示过去某个时间点的词语（如从句、过去分词等）连用，表示某个动作或状态从何时开始一直持续到现在。
例如：“I have not seen him since last year.”（自从去年以来我就没有见过他。
）
需要注意的是，“for”和“since”在现在完成时中的用法是有所区别的，需要根据具体语境进行区分。
同时，在使用现在完成时时，还需要注意动词的正确形式，以及与时间状语的搭配等问题。
