How do you use the phrase, "ever since"?

Question

I am trying to use the phrase at the end of the sentence like this:

"The event has influenced the world ever since."

It sounds awkward, but is it the right way? If not, how should I reword it?

Answer 1

You could say, 'Ever since then, the event has influenced the world.' The preceding sentence would have to link up to explain the 'ever since then'.

More simply: 'The event has continued to influence the world'.

Answer 2

that sounds right

Answer 3

your sentence is incomplete. "The event has influenced the world ever since....." I can say  "The event has influenced the world ever since Iraq war started.".

Another example here, " She smoked ever since she left school." -- she left school in 2004, it is now 2008. She has  smoked for 4 years / she has smoked since 2004...This sentence shows us she has been smoking for 4 years.. Hope that will help..

( Ever since she left school she has smoked.)

Answer 4

that is correct

Answer 5

Sorry, close though. Ever since is like a sentence conjuncture.

"The even has influence the world ever since 2pac died" That's how you use "ever since" What influenced the world to change? Your sentence is unfinished.
