Moreover, do you put a comma after since then?
Common starter words for introductory clauses that should be followed by a comma include after, although, as, because, if, since, when, while.
People also ask, is it ever since or since then?
Your sentence reads much better using since then because I already understand that it represents a time frame and the negated ever since sounds out of place at the end of your sentence. You can use ever since at the end of a sentence to establish magnitude but not in the way you did it. You cannot negate ever since.
Is since before correct?
“Before” is not used that way. “Since” refers to a period of time. “Since before you left, I’ve been wondering when you would come home” would mean “Since (the time period) before you left”. “From before” would be a substitute for “previously“, in phrases such as: “I don’t remember that from before”.
What can I use instead of since then?
- afterward.
- ago.
- already.
- later.
- therefore.
- after.
- as.
- because.
