Since followed by present perfect in dependent clauses
The sentence below is quite common:
It has been quite a long time since I last met you.
My question is this:
Would you please give me some examples in which "since" is followed by the present perfect instead of the simple past in the dependent clauses? Have I made myself clear? If not, please follow up.
Thank you.
