注意:since then表从过去某一点时间延续至说话时,强调到目前为止一直进行的动作或者保持的状态。所以句中谓语动词一般用现在完成时或者现在完成进行时。例如:
1.After that he never passed any test.1.从那以后他任何考试都从未及格过。
2.After that they took more attention to the action.2.从那以后他们对我的行动更加关注了。
3.I have been working hard since then.3.从那以来我一直努力工作。
4.Since then he has been drawing a pension.4.从那时起他一直领退休金。
5.She 's been studying hard since then.5.打那儿起,她就用心念书了。
6.It had been intolerable to be with him since then.6.从此跟他在一起就如坐针毡。

as soon as 一般指未发生的动作,主句一般将来时,从句用一般现在时代替一般将来时。例如:
1.I will tell him the news as soon as he comes back.他一回来我就告诉他这个消息。
注:有时,为了特意表达刚刚完成某事就如何如何,需要用现在完成时.例如:
2.I will go with you as soon as I have washed my face.我洗完脸就和你一起去。
当as soon as指紧接着发生的两个短动作,主从句都用一般过去时。例如:
1.He took out his English books as soon as he sat down.他一坐下就拿出了英语书。
不过,我也见过从句和主句都用一般现在时的情况.例如:
2.As soon as he finishes his classwork,he runs out of the class.他一做完课堂作业,就跑出了教室.
