how to use' for' instead of 'since'? for example if i said( i have n't seen him since yesterday ) or what can say here( it was 2 oclock when he started the game,he is still playing ) how can i use since here?

You say "for" a certain amount of time: He's been playing for half an hour.
"Since" is for the time he started playing: "He's been playing since 2 o'clock.
For the other example, you'd say, I haven't seen him for a day.

"for" is for how long do someone do his/her activity...
and "since" is for when u start the activity until that time
