In Hindi, we use the postposition से to mean "since" and "for" in the following sentences.

Note that the verb is in the present progressive tense or the simple present:

मैं कल से काम कर रही हूँ।	"I have been working since yesterday."
मेरी माता पाँच दिनों से यहाँ हैं।	"My mother is here for five days."
