It\u2019s a small word with big power, and if you use it wrong, you can accidentally sound unclear (or like time travel is involved).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the key idea: <strong>\u201csince\u201d has two main jobs<\/strong>\u2014talking about <strong>time<\/strong> (from a starting point until now) and giving a <strong>reason<\/strong> (because). The problem is that many advanced learners mix those jobs in the same sentence and create grammar chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this article, you\u2019ll learn how to <strong>Use since correctly<\/strong>\u2014without overthinking it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Job #1: \u201cSince\u201d for Time (Start Point \u2192 Now)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use <strong>since<\/strong> for time, you\u2019re usually starting at a specific point in the past and connecting it to the present.
