    In time expressions
    for is used in English after a verb in the progressive present perfect tense to express the time period of something that started in the past and is still going on. To express this French uses a verb in the present tense + depuis:
    I have been waiting for three hours (and I am still waiting)
    = j’attends depuis trois heures
    we’ve been together for two years (and we’re still together)
    = nous sommes ensemble depuis deux ans
    When for is used in English after a verb in the past perfect tense, French uses the imperfect + depuis:
    I had been waiting for two hours (and was still waiting)
    = j’attendais depuis deux heures
    for is used in English negative sentences with the present perfect tense to express the time that has elapsed since something has happened. To express this, French uses the same tense as English (the perfect) + depuis:
    I haven’t seen him for ten years (and I still haven’t seen him)
    = je ne l’ai pas vu depuis dix ans
    In spoken French, there is another way of expressing this: ça fait or il y a dix ans que je ne l’ai pas vu.
    When for is used in English in negative sentences after a verb in the past perfect tense, French uses the past perfect + depuis:
    I hadn’t seen him for ten years
    = je ne l’avais pas vu depuis dix ans, or (in spoken French) ça faisait or il y avait dix ans que je ne l’avais pas vu
    for is used in English after the preterite to express the time period of something that happened in the past and is no longer going on. Here French uses the present perfect + pendant:
    last Sunday I gardened for two hours
    = dimanche dernier, j’ai jardiné pendant deux heures
    for is used in English after the present progressive tense or the future tense to express an anticipated time period in the future. Here French uses the present or the future tense + pour:
    I’m going to Rome for six weeks
    = je vais à Rome pour six semaines
    I will go to Rome for six weeks
    = j’irai à Rome pour six semaines
    Note, however, that when the verb to be is used in the future with for to emphasize the period of time, French uses the future + pendant:
    I will be in Rome for six weeks
    = je serai à Rome pendant six semaines
    he will be away for three days
    = il sera absent pendant trois jours
    For particular usages see A13, 14, 15 and 16 in the entry for.
    for is often used in English to form a structure with nouns, adjectives and verbs (weakness for, eager for, apply for, fend for etc.). For translations, consult the appropriate noun, adjective or verb entry (weakness, eager, apply, fend etc.).
