The Present Perfect

Is used to refer to actions completed sometime before now, but with some present relevance, and so joins past and present.

I have seen the Queen ( at some indefinite time in my life)

* but not: I have seen the Queen yesterday

I saw the Queen yesterday

Now you try: 

How long have you known / did you know her? She is very kind. 

What did he do / has he done before he became a teacher? 

When have you inherited / did you inherit the money?

For and Since

Both these time expressions are frequently used with the Present Perfect to answer the question How Long.......?

• We use for with a period of time:  an hour, two weeks
• We use since with a point in time: 2017, May

NOT: I'VE BEEN HERE SINCE TWO MONTHS
