Please Check These Sentence...
Hi
Please check these sentences and suggest me some better way of expressing it:
1 "It's been a long time since I listen any song"
2 "Neither I talk like this way nor I want people to talk with me like this manner"
3 "Slaughter of cows and calves have or has been prohibited in several states" and why?
Thanking you
Yours truly, Himadri Roy

It's been a long time since + PAST also used.
The contrast is the same as for
