Hi everybody,
I know that in English "since" goes along with present perfect and "ago" with preterit.
But in this case i am not quite sure of the one to use:
"Since it (the real estate bubble) has broken out two years ago ..."
"Since it (the real estate bubble) broke out two years ago ..."
The second one seems false to me knowing that it still has a impact on the present but I need a confirmation to be sure.
thanks for your efforts to help me
