During / For / Since / While

DURING      when we want to talk about something that happened:

                  My grandfather was killed during the war.

                  from the beginning to the end of a period of time:

                  During the summer she worked as a baby-sitter.

FOR            when we want to talk about  how long something lasts:

                  The season only lasts for some months.

                  It can be used with all tenses:

                  They study for two hours every day.

                  They are studying for two hours today.

                  I worked at the bank for five years.

                  I've worked at this company for ten years.

SINCE         when we want to show points to the beginning of a period of time:

                  He has been living in London since 1997.

                  We've known about it since June.

                  It is normally used with the Present Perfect:

                  He has been here since his childhood.

                  It can also be used in the structure:

                  It is a year since I saw her. 

WHILE         when we refer to certain actions:

                  While I was eating lunch, I read this book.

                  Please,don't drink alcohol while driving.

                  It is always followed by a subject and a verb:

                 ...while the man was riding his bicycle.

                ...while the children were singing.

                  Both SINCE and FOR also have other meanings, with no reference to time:

                  This is for you.

                  Since he didn't study, he didn't pass the exam.
