In English, we use since to refer to a point of time. Since can refer to a point after a specific time or event in the past. Or it can refer to a particular point beginning sometime in the past and continuing until the present time. The particular point in time could be anything – last Tuesday, 2008 or midnight, for example.
The important point is that since is used with a particular point in time.
The basic formula for using since is this:
since + a particular point in time.
In sentences with since, we usually use perfect tenses. When using since, we normally use present perfect and past perfect tenses in the main clause of the sentence. You wouldn't use since when you are talking about the future because, by definition, since refers to specific point in the past.
Here are two examples in the present perfect tense:
It has been raining since 8 a.m.
I have been walking since 10 p.m.
