2、She’s been working in a bank since leaving school.她中學畢業后就一直在一家銀行工作。
3.He had spoken to her only once since the party.自從那次聚會以來，他只跟她說過一次話。

2.He came to Zhenjiang 6 years ago and has lived here (ever) since.他6年前來到鎮江，從此便住在這里。
三.since引導原因狀語從句
作為連詞，since可引導原因狀語從句，表示因為;既然;鑒于：例如：
1. He didn’t come since he was busy.他因為忙，所以沒有來。
2. Since this method doesn’t work,let’s try anoter.既然這種方法不行，我們就試用另一種吧。
四.Since引導時間狀語從句
1.若since引導的狀語從句的謂語是終止性動詞的過去時，則從句表示的時間是“從動作開始的那一時刻起”。例如：
He has studied very hard since he came to our school.自從他來到我們學校，他學習就非常努力。
We have been missing them since they left here自從他們離開這里，我們就一直很想念他們。
2.若since引導的狀語從句的謂語動詞是持續性動詞或表示狀態動詞的過去時時，則從句表示的時間是“從動作或狀態結束時算起”。例如：
I haven’t heard any noise since I slept. Sleep為持續性動詞，sleep的動作結束時，即“醒來”時，所以這句應譯為“我醒后還未聽到任何聲音”。
3.若since引導的狀語從句的謂語為持續性動詞的現在完成時，則表示動作和狀態延續到現在(說話時刻)，其表示的時間的起點應從動作發生之時算起。例如：I haven’t heard from him since he has lived there。這里has lived表示動作的.持續性，時間的起點應從：“開始居住”時算起。因此此句可理解為“自從他(開始)住在那兒起，我就一直沒收到他的來信”。
五.Since在特殊句型中的應用
句型I：“It is (has been)+時間+since+持續性動詞的過去時”，表示“自從……以來到現在已有多久。”例如：
It has been quite some time since I was last in London.我上次離開倫敦至今頗有一段時間了。
