The preposition “SINCE” is placed before words or phrases denoting a point of time: as, “since
Monday,” “since yesterday,” “since eight o’clock,” “since Diwali.”
When “SINCE” is used, the
verb is usually in the present perfect tense, but it may be in the past perfect: as, “I was glad to see Tarun. I had not seen him since last Diwali.”
NOTE: “FROM” can also denote a point of time, but it must be followed by “to” or “till”: as, “He works from eight o’clock till one o’clock without resting.”
Don’t say: :x:The little girl sang beautiful.
Say: :white_check_mark:The little girl sang beautifully.
An adverb, and not an adjective, should be used to qualify a verb.
NOTE: But after verbs such as “look,” “feel,” “sound,” “taste,” “smell” an adjective is used instead of an adverb: :point_right:, “Sugar tastes sweet : white_check_mark:(not sweetly).”
