2) From that day He didn't ride that kind of rides anymore OR

3) From that day He doesn't ride that kind of rides anymore


Thanks a lot

I was interested in finding out how common the first one was, so I did a corpus search. I'll post the results -- perhaps someone will find them interesting.

My queries were:

1) since that [user:list] [p*]|[n*] have|has
2) from that [user:list] [p*]|[n*] have|has

The results:

1)

COCA - 5
COHA - 30
TIME - 3
BNC - 6

2)

COCA - 4
COHA - 28
TIME - 2
BNC - 1

Here's what the queries meant:

[user:list] means "any of the words from word list 'list' defined by user 'user'". My list contained the following words (based on previous searches):
hour
day
period
point
mo-ment
moment

[p*]|[n*] means "any pronoun or any noun".

have|has means "the word 'have' or the word 'has'".

wow, Birdeen! I do find the results interesting
I'm surprised to see 'from that X " is almost as popular as 'since'. I know the pattern is 'from that X on', but it looks like 'on' isn't necessary here.

I was surprised too.
