7 PM

Dear Teachers,

1. She has been here since 7 pm.

- This means " she has been here since 7 am, but she's still here", right?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd.

Hello everyone!:)

I think if you just write "She's been here since 7 pm", it would mean that she (Pamela) is still here. However, if you write a bit more, She's been here since 7 pm but she has just left", then, it would mean that she is anymore here.

..but I am not sure:).

No Koyeen you don't have to use the past perfect unless you want to emphasize the order of the events happened in the past in your sentences. In spoken English using past tense is more common than using past perfect tense. Saying she might have left is something so different.

Yes Carpe I would understand the same things when I was told like you said.
