"since I was 10" or "since my age of ten" #1 (permalink) Sun Jan 27, 2008 11:50 am   "since I was 10" or "since my age of ten"
 

Hi,

Could you tell me which one is correct?

I've been living here since I was 10.
I've been living here since my age of ten.

I've been living here since I got married.
I've been living here since I am married.
I've been living here since I was married.
I've been living here since I've been married.

thanks
Liza
I'm here quite often ;-)

Hi,

Change 2 to 'since the age of ten', number 4 doesn't make sense, number 6 would be better as 'since I married'. 1,3, 5 are all right.

Alan
