Eye tests in the school showed that students'eyesight --- worse since last semester.

问题描述:

Eye tests in the school showed that students'eyesight --- worse since last semester.
这题的答案是became,可是后面有since不应该用完成时吗?

since在这里的意思是 prep.从…以来;自从…之后;自从
since并不是完成时的代表符号.
句子时态要根据句子的意思去确定的.此处为什么用一般过去时因为句子说的是过去的一件事情。since last semester是时间状语。
