Knowing how to use prepositions correctly shows your mastery of the language. This post is about the common errors in the use of prepositions.

Since means ‘from a point of time in the past’. It should be used with the present perfect tense.
He has been ill since last week. (He fell ill two weeks ago and has been ill ever since. He is still ill.)
It has been raining continuously since yesterday morning. (It is still raining.)
Don’t use the simple present or present continuous tense with since. It is wrong to say ‘He is ill since last week’ or ‘It is raining since yesterday morning’.
For is used to refer to a period of time. It shows duration.
He has been ill for two weeks.

Present continuous and present perfect continuous

I never intended to hurt you in first place
that sentence was never meant to hurt you
it's just my commitment
because I don't want to be like my father
which is very dependant to his sisters
I know this thing would be hard for you
I don't blame you though
this kind of thing is
not what everyone could accept easily
I enjoyed doing things with you
I really do
if I don't enjoying things with you
the "Epica" name was the proof of it
well, recently I've read a sentence
"expect the unexpected"
I guess this is the right time for it
for a change of our point of view
I'm not good at writing
but I hope this short note
could open your heart
and accept my forgiveness
please don't let all of our efforts...

Recently, I was browsing for killing time as I am jobless so there's nothing much to do. I was on Youtube and watching two video clips of A Skylit Drive titled "I'm Not A Thief, I'm A Treasure Hunter" & "Knights Of The Round".
Here's the videos btw:
A Skylit Drive "I'm Not A Thief, I'm A Treasure Hunter" HQ Official Music Video
A Skylit Drive "Knights Of The Round" Official Music Video HQ
At the end of A Skylit Drive "Knights Of The Round" Official Music Video HQ, I saw related videos of it, and there's a band named Black Veil Brides which I've never saw before. So I click on it and begin to watching it. The song named "Knives and Pens". Whoa, they stunned me @_@ because there's only...
