Unfinished Actions
We use this tense when we want to talk about unfinished actions or states or habits that
started in the past and continue to the present.

'Since' and 'For'
We use 'since' with a fixed time in the past (2004, April 23rd, last year). The fixed time can
be another action, which is in the past simple (since I was at school, since I arrived).
I've known Sam since 1992.
We use 'for' with a period of time (2 hours, three years, six months).
I've known Julie for ten years.
Finished Actions
Life experience. These are actions or events that happened sometime during a person's life.
We don't say when the experience happened, and the person needs to be alive now. We
often use the words 'ever' and 'never' here.
We have never seen that film.
We can also use the present perfect to talk about something that happened recently, even if
there isn't a clear result in the present. This is common when we want to introduce news
and we often use the words 'just / yet / already / recently'.
We have already bought all books.
He hasn’t finished the homework yet.
