二.Since作为副词,表示从过去以来、以后或到现在的情形或状态,常与现在完成时态连用。例如:

2.He came to Zhenjiang 6 years ago and has lived here (ever) since.他6年前来到镇江,从此便住在这里。
三.since引导原因状语从句
作为连词,since可引导原因状语从句,表示因为;既然;鉴于:例如:
1. He didn’t come since he was busy.他因为忙,所以没有来。
2. Since this method doesn’t work,let’s try anoter.既然这种方法不行,我们就试用另一种吧。
四.Since引导时间状语从句
1.若since引导的状语从句的谓语是终止性动词的过去时,则从句表示的时间是“从动作开始的那一时刻起”。例如:
He has studied very hard since he came to our school.自从他来到我们学校,他学习就非常努力。
We have been missing them since they left here自从他们离开这里,我们就一直很想念他们。
2.若since引导的状语从句的谓语动词是持续性动词或表示状态动词的'过去时时,则从句表示的时间是“从动作或状态结束时算起”。例如:
I haven’t heard any noise since I slept. Sleep为持续性动词,sleep的动作结束时,即“醒来”时,所以这句应译为“我醒后还未听到任何声音”。
3.若since引导的状语从句的谓语为持续性动词的现在完成时,则表示动作和状态延续到现在(说话时刻),其表示的时间的起点应从动作发生之时算起。例如:I haven’t heard from him since he has lived there。这里has lived表示动作的持续性,时间的起点应从:“开始居住”时算起。因此此句可理解为“自从他(开始)住在那儿起,我就一直没收到他的来信”。
五.Since在特殊句型中的应用
句型I:“It is (has been)+时间+since+持续性动词的过去时”,表示“自从……以来到现在已有多久。”例如:
It has been quite some time since I was last in London.我上次离开伦敦至今颇有一段时间了。
句型II:“It was+时间+since+持续性动词的过去完成时”,表示“从……到过去某时间点以来”,例如:It was three years since we had been here.那时我们在这已呆了三年。
