YOU SAID:
i was there before, since she arrived
INTO JAPANESE
彼女が到着して以来、私は前にそこにいました
BACK INTO ENGLISH
I've been there before since she arrived
INTO JAPANESE
彼女が到着してからずっとそこにいた
BACK INTO ENGLISH
she's been there since she arrived
INTO JAPANESE
彼女は到着してからそこにいる
BACK INTO ENGLISH
she's been there since she arrived
That didn't even make that much sense in English.
