► When since is followed by a noun or noun phrase, you can usually translate it as desde:

I have been here since this morning Estoy aquí or Llevo aquí desde esta mañana
They've been waiting since nine o'clock Están esperando or Llevan esperando desde las nueve

She came home at five and has been studying ever since Llegó a casa a las cinco y está estudiando desde entonces ► Translate lon g since using hace tiempo (+ que + ((past tense))) or hacía tiempo (+ que + ((past/past perfect))) as relevant:
His wife has long since died Hace tiempo que murió su mujer, Su mujer murió hace tiempo
Meaning "as", "because"
► In formal contexts you can usually translate since using ya que {or} puesto que. In more everyday Spanish, use como, which must go at the beginning of the sentence:
They could not afford the house since they were not earning enough No podían pagar la casa puesto que or ya que no ganaban bastante

- dress was too long for meUSAGE:(1.) Прилагательное long образует словосочетания с существительным time, имеющие разные русские соответствия - for a long time - надолго, давно, в течение долгого времени: we haven't met for a long time мы давно не встречались; I can't give this book to you for a long time я не могу дать тебе эту книгу надолго; a long time before smth задолго до чего-либо; it will be a long time before we meet again мы теперь не скоро встретимся опять; it was a long time before the war это было задолго до войны; a long time ago давно, давным-давно, много времени тому назад.

- any longerIt takes him long to do smth — Сделать что-либо занимает у него очень много времени.
- long before smth - as long as one likesUSAGE:(1.) Наречие long обычно употребляется в отрицательных или вопросительных предложениях: have you been waiting long? вы давно ждете?; they didn't stay long они пробыли здесь недолго. В утвердительных предложениях обычно употребляется сочетание с прилагательным long - (for) a long time: they stayed there for a very long time они оставались там очень долго. В отрицательных же предложениях чаще употребляется наречие long: it won't take me long я это сделаю быстро/это не займет у меня много времени. В конструкции с усилительным too во всех типах предложений употребляется наречие long: they have been waiting too long они уже очень давно ждут; I will write to you before too long я вам скоро напишу. (2.) Наречие long и наречный оборот for a long time стоят в конце предложения. (3.) Русскому больше не соответствуют два наречия в английском языке - no (any) more и no (any) longer. Первое является наречием степени, второе - наречием времени: we are no longer working there/we do not work there any longer мы там больше (уже) не работаем; don't tell me any more about it не рассказывай мне больше (ничего) об этом; I can't stand this noise any longer я больше/дольше не могу оставаться в этом шуме. Оборот no longer обычно стоит перед глаголом: she no longer works here, а оборот any longer, в конце предложения: she doesn't work here any longer. (4.) Наречие long образует ряд выражений, соответствующих русским "вскоре" - before long: we all were very tired and before long everybody was asleep мы все устали и вскоре все уснули; задолго до - long before smth: we came long before the concert started мы пришли задолго до начала концерта; много времени спустя - long after: it happened long after his arrival это произошло спустя много времени после его приезда; сколько/как давно - how long: how long have you been waiting? сколько вы уже ждете?; столько/ сколько (захотите) - as long as (you like): you can stay here as long as you like оставайтесь здесь столько, сколько захотите; поскольку/если/раз/уж - as/so long as: you may go as long as you promise to come back before dark можешь пойти, если/раз обещаешь вернуться засветло.
