During vs. For


Keduanya termasuk preposisi yg dalam bahasa Indonesia sama-sama memiliki arti "selama". Perhatikan perbedaannya.

"for" diikuti durasi/periode waktu, contoh:
- We've lived here for ten years.
- He has studied for an hour.

"during" diikuti kata benda yg menunjukan sesuatu terjadi atau kejadian, contoh:
- He got drunk during the party.
- I was sleepy during the exam.
