问题: The toddler has since gone to live

The toddler has since gone to live in China with her grandparents.
go是非连续性动词,能与表示持续时间的副词“since自那以后(一直到现在)”连用吗?

解答:

句子相当于The toddler has gone to live in China with her grandparents since...
自从...以后,省略的部分就是前文提到的了。而...部分可以省略,自然只剩下一个since在结尾欠妥,就放到前面了。

比如下面的例子:
We moved to the city and our neighbor has since come to visit us twice.

句子可以写成:
Our neighbor has come to visit us twice since we moved to the city.
