I need some help here!

I'm very confused about tenses.I don't know which one to use!For example what are the differences bewtween these two;

1-It is raining since 3 o'clock
2-It has been raining since 3 o'clock

and when do we use "appreciate"?

Number 2 is correct. The Present Perfect Progressive (that's the tense used in the sentence) is used to refer to an action that startet at some point in the past and which still continues at the time of speaking (at the time that sentence, in this case, was uttered). The sentence means "It started to rain at 3 and it is still raining".
