  • zhSince 是一个多功能的从属连词。作时间连词时,表示动作或状态从某一过去时间点开始并持续到现在或另一时间。作原因连词时,表示“因为”,说明主句的原因。

Since is a versatile subordinating conjunction used primarily to introduce clauses of time or reason. As a time conjunction, it indicates the starting point of an action or state that continues to the present or another point in time. As a reason conjunction, it means "because" and explains the cause of the main clause. It is commonly used in perfect tenses when referring to time.

  1. Since as a time conjunction (from a past point until now)A2formal

    Used to show that an action or state began at a specific point in the past and continues up to the present (or up to another point in the past when used with past perfect). It is typically paired with the present perfect or past perfect tenses in the main clause. The since-clause often uses the past simple.
