Sa video na ito,
pag-uusapan ko ang dalawang magkatulad
at kung minsan ay nakakalito na mga ekspresyong Ingles
00:05
expressions – ‘since’ and ‘for’.
1
5509
3588
na 'mula' at 'para'.
00:09
These two time expressions are commonly confused in English.
2
9097
4595
Ang dalawang beses na expression na ito ay karaniwang nalilito sa Ingles.
00:13
But after watching this video, you'll have a good understanding of the difference and when to use these words.

Ngunit pagkatapos panoorin ang video na ito,
magkakaroon ka ng mahusay na pag-unawa sa pagkakaiba
at kung kailan gagamitin ang mga salitang ito.
00:20
Let’s get started.
4
20500
1478
Magsimula na tayo.
00:25
Let’s start with ‘since’
5
25233
2025
Magsimula tayo sa 'mula'.
00:27
‘since’ shows when a past action first started.
6
27262
4198
Ipinapakita ng 'mula' kung kailan nagsimula ang isang nakaraang aksyon.
00:31
We always need a starting point with ‘since’
7
31460
3423
Palagi kaming nangangailangan ng panimulang punto na may 'mula'
00:34
so when you use ‘since’, you always need a specific time expression.
8
34883
5460
kaya kapag gumamit ka ng 'mula',
kailangan mo ng isang tiyak na expression ng oras.
00:40
Let's take a look at some example sentences.
9
40343
3719
Tingnan natin ang ilang halimbawa ng mga pangungusap.
00:44
The first sentence says,
10
44062
1574
Ang unang pangungusap ay nagsasabing,
00:45
‘I have been working since 8 o'clock this morning.’
11
45636
3490
'Nagtatrabaho ako mula alas-8 ngayong umaga.'
00:49
You'll notice that the specific time expression comes after ‘since’.
12
49126
4667
Mapapansin mo na ang partikular na expression ng oras ay pagkatapos ng 'mula'.
00:53
And it shows when this person started working.
13
53793
4010
At ipinapakita nito kung kailan nagsimulang magtrabaho ang taong ito.
00:57
The next sentence says,
14
57803
1528
Ang susunod na pangungusap ay nagsasabing,
00:59
‘She has been on a diet since August.’
15
59331
3777
'Siya ay nagdidiyeta mula noong Agosto.'
01:03
The specific time expression here is August
16
63108
3095
Ang partikular na expression ng oras dito ay Agosto
01:06
and it comes after ‘since’.
17
66203
2848
at ito ay pagkatapos ng 'mula'.
01:09
It shows when she started dieting.
18
69051
3143
Ipinapakita nito kung kailan siya nagsimulang mag-diet.
01:12
Okay, now, I will talk about ‘for’.
19
72194
3453
Okay, ngayon, pag-uusapan ko ang tungkol sa 'para'.
01:15
We use ‘for’ to express a length of time in English.
20
75647
4474
Ginagamit namin ang 'para' upang ipahayag ang haba ng oras sa Ingles.
01:20
It is used to express duration or how long something has happened.
21
80121
5299
Ito ay ginagamit upang ipahayag ang tagal
o kung gaano katagal ang isang bagay ay nangyari.
01:25
Let's take a look at some examples.
22
85420
2352
Tingnan natin ang ilang halimbawa.
01:27
The first sentence says,
23
87772
1588
Ang unang pangungusap ay nagsasabing,
01:29
‘I have been working for five hours.’
24
89360
2911
'Limang oras na akong nagtatrabaho.'
01:32
In this case, we have a duration five hours
25
92271
4132
Sa kasong ito,
mayroon kaming tagal ng limang oras
01:36
and it comes after ‘for’.
26
96403
3410
at darating ito pagkatapos ng 'para'.
01:39
The next sentence says,
27
99813
1597
Ang susunod na pangungusap ay nagsasabing,
01:41
‘She has been on a diet for three months’.
28
101410
3461
'Tatlong buwan na siyang nagdidiyeta'.
01:44
Again, we have three months which shows the duration
29
104871
3971
Muli, mayroon kaming tatlong buwan
na nagpapakita ng tagal
01:48
- how long she has been on a diet.
30
108842
2816
kung gaano siya katagal sa isang diyeta.
01:51
Again, notice it comes after the word ‘for’.
31
111658
3852
Muli, pansinin na ito ay pagkatapos ng salitang 'para'.
01:55
Now, let's do a checkup.
32
115510
2467
Ngayon, mag-checkup tayo.
01:57
In this conversation, there are two sentences.
33
117977
3544
Sa pag-uusap na ito,
mayroong dalawang pangungusap.
02:01
In one of the sentences, we should use ‘since’
34
121521
3342
Sa isa sa mga pangungusap,
dapat nating gamitin ang 'mula'
02:04
and in the other we should use ‘for’.
35
124863
3250
at sa isa pa ay dapat nating gamitin ang 'para'.
02:08
Take a moment to think about where we use ‘since’ and ‘for’.
36
128113
6857
Maglaan ng ilang sandali upang isipin kung saan namin ginagamit ang 'mula' at 'para sa'.
02:14
‘A' says,
37
134970
1274
Sabi ni 'A', 'Nagtatrabaho ka na ba dito _blank_ 2008?'
02:16
‘Have you been working here _blank_ 2008?’
38
136244
4910
02:21
You'll notice the specific time expression ‘2008’.
39
141154
4771
Mapapansin mo ang partikular na expression ng oras na '2008'.
02:25
Remember, when we use a specific time expression,
40
145925
3526
Tandaan, kapag gumagamit kami ng isang partikular na expression ng oras,
02:29
we put ‘since’ before the expression.
41
149451
3141
inilalagay namin ang 'mula' bago ang expression.
02:32
So ‘A’ says,
42
152592
1590
Kaya sabi ni 'A', 'Nagtatrabaho ka na ba rito mula noong 2008?'
02:34
‘Have you been working here since 2008?’
43
154182
4106
02:38
‘B’ says, ‘No, I’ve only been working here _blank_ two weeks.’
44
158288
5402
Sabi ni 'B', 'Hindi, dalawang linggo lang akong nagtatrabaho dito.'
02:43
‘two weeks’ is a duration.
45
163690
2084
Ang 'two weeks' ay isang tagal.
02:45
It shows how long this action has been happening.
46
165774
3652
Ipinapakita nito kung gaano katagal nangyayari ang pagkilos na ito.
02:49
So the best answer here is ‘for’.
47
169426
3146
Kaya ang pinakamagandang sagot dito ay 'para'.
02:52
‘No, I’ve only been working here for two weeks.’
48
172572
3798
'Hindi, dalawang linggo pa lang ako nagtatrabaho dito.'
02:56
So let's take a look at the whole conversation.
49
176370
3279
Kaya tingnan natin ang buong pag-uusap.
02:59
‘A’ says,
50
179649
1042
Sabi ni 'A', 'Nagtatrabaho ka na ba rito mula noong 2008?'
03:00
‘Have you been working here since 2008?’
51
180691
3352
At sabi ni 'B', 'Hindi, dalawang linggo pa lang ako nagtatrabaho dito.'
03:04
And ‘B’ says, ‘No, I’ve only been working here for two weeks.’
52
184043
5100
03:09
Now you know the difference between ‘since’ and ‘for’.
53
189143
4328
Ngayon alam mo na ang pagkakaiba sa pagitan ng 'mula' at 'para'.
03:13
Be sure to practice these two time expressions.
54
193471
3407
Tiyaking isagawa ang dalawang expression na ito ng oras.
03:16
They're very important to properly express time and duration in English.
55
196878
5952
Napakahalaga ng mga ito upang maipahayag nang maayos ang oras
at tagal sa Ingles.
03:22
Thank you guys so much for watching.
