“for a year” or “since a year”?

Another question from my grammar test: “Rob has had his car ____ a year, but he wants to sell it.” I’m not so sure about this one but i wrote “for(a year…etc)” and the teacher says it’s “since(a year, bla bla, sell it)” so…which one is correct?

‘for a year’

You should address this issue with the head of the department. Not only is she failing to each you anything, she is probably confusing you about things that you did know.

I think it is “for a year”

you could use since but if it was different, “he had his car since he came here”

since seems to me as you’re talking of an specific perod of time relating it to an event

plus, since a year ago…sounds artificial

Rob has had his car for a year. That is how I see it.

It is ‘for a year’.

It would only be since if the word ‘ago’ was added to the end of the sentence.

Is your teacher a native English speaker ?

“for a year” is right there !
