B. No
Explanation: 'For' is used with periods of time when the present perfect describes actions or situations that began in the past and continue in the present. 'Since' is used with moments in time.
Question 4: The sentence 'I've broken my leg twice last year' correctly uses the present perfect to describe a life experience according to the provided grammar rules.
A. Yes
B. No
Explanation: The study materials state that the present perfect is used to talk about an experience in someone's lifetime 'without saying the exact time when the event occurred'. It also specifies that 'If we say the specific moment in the past when something happened, we must use the past simple'. Adding 'last year' specifies the exact time, thus requiring the past simple, not the present perfect.

A. Yes
B. No
Explanation: The study materials state: "For and since are used when the present perfect is describing actions or situations that began in the past and continue in the present. We use for with periods of time and since with moments in time."
