三 .1、 It is / has been + 一段时间 +since 从句.例如:
It is / has been three years since we saw each other last time.
我们上一次见面是在 3 年前.
It is four years since I became a student.
我上了 4 年学了.
2、通常都为过去式
(注意:状语从句中常用短暂性动词的一般过去时作谓语动词)
“ It was + 一段时间 +since 从句”结构.可理解为:从更远的过去某一时间点,延续了一段时间直至过去的一个时间点,从句中用过去完成时作谓语.例如:
It was two years since he had left here.
他离开这儿有两年了.
注意:since 从句里的谓语动词是瞬间动词时,表示这段时间从该动作开始时算起; since 从句里的谓语动词是延续性 / 表状态的动词时,则表示这段时间从动作结束时算起.例如:
It's five years since he lived here.
他离开这儿有 5 年了.( live 为延续性动词)
It's ten years since he joined the army.
他参军已有 10 年了.( join 为瞬间动词)
