| Apr 11 at 13:14 | comment | added | Billy Kerr | Note that sentences 1, 4 , 5 and 6 are not grammatical. Also there's an error in Sentence 3. The words east and west when used as cardinal directions are not proper nouns, just common nouns, and should not be capitalised. | |
| Apr 11 at 12:22 | comment | added | Thamilay | Oh! I get the point now. Not because of tense but because of an odd thing to say English. Thank you madam , you are every time making me clear. @Kate Bunting | |
| Apr 11 at 12:17 | comment | added | Kate Bunting | It was explained to you (in answer to your question about that sentence) that it is wrong because it is an odd thing to say in English, not because of the tense. You have now asked several questions about tenses with 'since', and have been told several times that we don't normally use the present tense with it. | |
| Apr 11 at 12:05 | comment | added | Thamilay | Because I can't use "She has been satisfied since becoming tall. It makes me confused." In stead of that she is satisfied since becoming tall. That is better , I don't understand , why? @Kate Bunting | |
| Apr 11 at 11:56 | comment | added | Kate Bunting | (5) and (6) would both be more natural with the present perfect - I have known that actress since... and I have accepted that rule since.... I don't know why you are so determined to use the present tense with since! | |

| Apr 11 at 11:49 | comment | added | Thamilay | In my question , I did not point out the tenses after since, since past simple or since prefect tenses.I want to point out the tense present simple before since. Can I use present simple tense above my question before since. @FumbleFingers | |

Formatted the list and added spaces after fullstop. There's so much more that could be done.

| Apr 11 at 11:30 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | Note that in contexts like Since he lost his job he has nothing to do all day the meaning of since is "ambiguous" in that although being idle definitely started when he lost his job, the because sense wouldn't always be implied. | |
| Apr 11 at 11:05 | comment | added | Thamilay | Yes ,Thank you for your advice@FumbleFingers | |
| Apr 11 at 10:45 | comment | added | FumbleFingers | The different ways we use the word since in English are quite complicated and cover a wide range ("from that time" and "because" are just two possible meanings). It's obvious you're at the very beginning of the long process of learning English, so I suggest you put since aside and concentrate on basic verb tense forms for now. | |
