It´s a month since the family went skiing.
It´s been a month since the family went skiing.

Diagram them.

Thanks! What do the two X's signify?

"the" and "time"

I tried to diagram it without anything having to be understood, but I ran into the problem of how to show the "since"

I felt that the subordinate clause modified "time" -- which time? -- and was acting as an adjective (in spite of the conjunction). I don't think it answers "when" about "has been".

I'll have to look at home. Can't see it here in school.
