Default Present Perfect vs Past Tense
My grammar book mentions that " the present perfect tense may be used in both the since clause and the main clause".
Now, I'd like to know how these two sentences differ with one another?
She has not felt well since she had the flu last month.
She has not felt well since she has had the flu last month.

Anonymous My grammar book mentions that " the present perfect tense may be used in both the since clause and the main clause". Only when both events or conditions are continuing or durational. Therefore, your second sentence is not possible.
