Grammar
present simple + since/until
Hello, i was browsing one of my grammar books and bumped into such sentence in which i need to choose either unti or since and i have no clue one should be wrong. Both options are used with specified time moment:
I always stay on duty since/until 6 o'clock.
I always stay on duty since/until 6 o'clock.
Top answer
Use until here. If talking about a past situation, you could say I had been on duty since 6:00 when the fire started.
- Use until here.
- If talking about a past situation, you could say I had been on duty since 6:00 when the fire started.
