Hi guys,

Please check. We say "Its been more than 2 months or its 2 months or more than 2 months since I didn't meet him or started doing this" but can we use "Present perfect or present perfect contineuos" after since in thie kind of structure?

We want you to be careful with your writing.
Your posts are VERY hard to read. By putting that entire thing into a single quotation, it seems you thinks we say all of that. We don't. I'm not even sure what you think the three options are.
It's been more than two months since I started exercising. - This is fine.

Please write the examples you think also work.

I have also seen people using present perfect or preset perfect conrineous after since(Like for the thongs that have been happening for a long time or some time) So I am confused. I give you an example, I haven't gone out since I have broken my leg.

Use the simple past: "I haven't gone out since I broke my leg."

The break occurred at one time. You don't break it over a long time.

I haven't gone out much since Jeff has been home. -- Jeff is still home.
I haven't gone out much since Jeff came home. -- Jeff came home in one moment. He doesn't continuously come home.
