For and Since 
- You use FOR if you don't have to calculate the period of time, because you have it in the sentence :
I have lived here FOR two months ( you don't have to calculate, you know the period is "two months" )
- You use SINCE if you have to calculate the period of time, because you only have the starting point :
I have lived here SINCE 1975 ( you have to calculate now: if you came in 1975 - the starting point - and now it is 2009, then 2009-1975 = 24 years )
Now fill the gaps with FOR or SINCE:
-

-
