I have been studying English from 8pm to now.
I have been studying English during 5hours.
I have been studying English for 5 hours.
Use "for" to talk about duration.
=> I've been in England for 7 years.
=> We've been friends for many years.
Use "since" to talk about a starting point in time.
=> I've been in England since 2009.
=> We've been friends since high school.
Use "from" to talk about physical location (=> I'm from France ) more than about time. Though there are exceptions.
You can use "from" with time to talk about a general point in time. It's different from "since", because you use "since" with a specific date or time.
=> I like to travel from time to time.
=> From now on, I'll try to drink less coffee.
Hope that helps!

As mentioned in cambridge website;
1: We use present perfect continuous tense to talk about finished activities in the *recent past*. But we don't say a specific time.
2: Also we use this tense to describe a single activity that has been begun in the past and is still continuing. That means,
- I have been studying English since 9pm (You are still studying),
3. furthermore we use this to ask and answer for questions about the duration of an activity.
- A) How long have you been studying english? B) I have been studying English for 5 hours
