SINCE
Time
► When since is followed by a noun or noun phrase, you can usually translate it as desde:
Spain has changed a lot since Franco's death España ha cambiado mucho desde la muerte de Franco ► When since is followed by a verb phrase, use desde que instead:
Since I saw you a fortnight ago a lot of things have happened Desde que te vi hace quince días han pasado muchas cosas NOTE: Use the {present tense} in Spanish to describe a situation that started in the past and has continued up to now (present perfect or present perfect continuous in English):
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
He has been taking more exercise since he talked to his doctor Hace más ejercicio desde que habló con el médico But the perfect tense is used in Spanish when the verb is in the negative:
I haven't seen her since she left No la he visto desde que se fue ► Translate sin ce then {or} ever since using desde entonces:
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
Since I hadn't heard from you, I decided to give you a call Como no sabía nada de ti, decidí llamarte For further uses and examples, see main entry
