🧠 Why “since”?
We use:
• ✅ “since” when we refer to the starting point of something — a specific time or date.
• ➤ Example: since 8 AM, since Monday, since 2020
• ❌ “for” is used for a duration — how long something has happened.
• ➤ Example: for 3 hours, for a week, for two years
✅ Correct Answer: B) a 👍
🧠 Why “a”?
• “a” is used when you’re talking about any one hotel, not a specific one.
👉 The hotel hasn’t been mentioned before — it’s new information.
• “the” would be used only if the listener already knows which hotel you’re talking about.
👉 Example: We stayed at the hotel we booked last month.
📚 Grammar Tip of the Day
👉 The word “its” (no apostrophe) is not the same as “it’s” (with an apostrophe)!
✨ Here’s the difference:
• ✅ “It’s” = it is or it has
➤ It’s raining outside. ☔ (= It is raining)
➤ It’s been a long day. 😩 (= It has been)
• ✅ “Its” = possessive form of “it” (something belongs to it)
➤ The cat licked its paw. 🐱🖐️ (The paw belongs to the cat)
🧠 Quick Trick:
If you can say “it is” or “it has”, use “it’s”.
If not, use “its”.
