Sbagliato We've been waiting the tram for half an hour.
Giusto We've been waiting for the tram for half an hour.
«Aspettare il tram» non ha preposizione in italiano, ma in inglese ciò che aspetti vuole for: wait for the tram, wait for me.
Sbagliato I'm waiting that you call me back.
Giusto I'm waiting for you to call me back.
«Aspetto che tu mi richiami» non regge that. In inglese: wait for + persona + to + infinito, I'm waiting for you to call.
Sbagliato I wait for you since twenty minutes.
Giusto I have been waiting for you for twenty minutes.
