00I'd say the most typical would be with 01i00was02i00 and 01i00that/when02i00.02br
02br
00If you wanted to use 'is', I think there would usually be another word or words added. For example:02br
01i00It is ten years ago now since I met him.02br
00It is ten years

I have a doubt here. Why couldn't (Is 'couldn't' the correct word to use?) I say 'It was ten years ago since I met him?' Or should I say 'It was ten years ago since I last met him'?

"Since" and "ago" are not used togther.

It is ten years since I met him My first meeting with him took place ten years ago
It is ten years since I last met him The last time I met him was ten years ago
It was ten years ago that I met him
