Since vs than since

Hi,
I'll take a guess:

She's never been happier (ever) since she met him.
I've never felt better (ever) since I've been on a diet.

thank you

but if someone could verify this it'd be great

thanks

You have two present perfects in #2.

Note:

since + point

A point is a precise moment in time, for example: 9 o'clock, 1st January, Monday. Since means "from a point in the past until now." Since is normally used with perfect tenses.

(From

julielaisince + point

Not always though. It's not always "since + point in time or simple past". I thought those examples were ok.

all of that I know

this is different

its comparing

she's never been happier than since she met him/she's never been happier since she met him

(do you leave the THAN or not or is it optional)

2 I've never felt better than since i've been on a diet/I've never felt better since i've been on a diet

3 she's never been happier than when s

alc24what about the above sentence? you have to leave the THAN

For these sentences to make sense (or at least, to mean what you want them to), you need "than". Even with "than", they are not good sentences in my opinion. You could say:

"Since she met him, she's been happier than ever."

"Since I've been on a diet, I've felt better

Which is right?

I've never been happier than when I'm with him.

I'm nver happier than when I'm with him.

I was never happier than when I was with him.

I'd say the last 2

Thank you
