Guy: Yeah, but what about the beach towel and flip-flops . . . ?

Girl: Ummm . . . . Memorial Day is a holiday of remembrance . . . but it’s also the unofficial FIRST DAY OF SUMMER!

Guy: Oh boy. I guess that means traffic jams on the turnpike. Oh well, SUNNYSIDE BEACH, HERE WE COME!

Girl: Hmm. Yeah. Us . . . . . . and three million other people.

TAKE A LOOK: For and Since with Time

For and since are tricky words to use when talking about time. When you mean a period of time, use for. When you mean a point in time, use since.

Example sentences:

They have been working on the project for two weeks. (a period of time—two weeks.)

They have been working on the project since last Thursday. (It started at a point in time—last Thursday.)
