[Q1] I have been working for this company for the last ten years. [Q2] My father lived in the house during the sixties.
It said that I can't use "during" in the case of [Q1] and "for" in the case of [Q2].
I have found one related to between "for" and "during" in this forum.
It is said that,
I use during to say when you do or have done something. I use for to say how long you have done something.
It simply means, "During" can usually bring "simple past tense" in the main clause ( Not 100%, but almost) "For" can usually bring "present perfect tense" in the main clause( Not 100%, but almost)
Is my thought right? Could someone explain to me what is the difference between "for' and "during"? My bookwork answered me that in case there are the numbers, use "for" and in case there is the meaning of term, use "during". Is it correct?
Thank you for your answer in advance
