We can use several ways to indicate the length of time we have known someone.
We can talk about the first time we met them:
- We first met three years ago. or I first met you three years ago.
We can talk about the duration of time we have known them:
- I've known you for three years.
We can talk about the amount of time passed since we first met them:
- It has been three years since we first met.
Wow! I can't believe that it has already been 3 years since we first met.
Did you know it has already been 3 years since we both met?
If you would like to tell someone that it has already been 3 years since you first met someone, you can say something like "Wow! I can't believe that it has already been 3 years since we first met." or "Did you know it has already been 3 years since we both met?". These are some nice ways to say this to someone.
Using the phrase: we met three years ago. Explains to the person you are talking to that you met him/her three years ago, (you have known this person for three years). Example: Guess what? What? We met each other three years ago. Wow! That time has passed by really quickly!
1. The first example uses the expression, "It's already been three years..." When you use "already" it usually emphasizes that time has gone by quickly and you're amazed at how much time has passed. For example, people might say "It's already 3:00 pm!" if time has passed quickly and work/school has finished.
2. You can also say "it's been three years since we first me". "Since" can mean "from the time...". You can use "since" in many different ways, such as "it's been a long time since I've seen you," or, "I haven't been to this restaurant since I was a child."
Here are two ways in which we can say this; either by using, "three years since we met," or switching that sentence around in order to, "we met three years ago. Notice that in addition to the word movement, we also remove, "since," and then add the word, "ago," after years.
This is what you can say when you have known someone for a certain number of years. Counting the years people have known each other is still a thing, yes. You can use any of the above two sentences to say this.
It has been 3 years since I met you for the first time.
3 years have passed since I met you for the first time.
3 years have passed since I first met you, but I didn't know you are married to a Japanese woman.
おっしゃられている内容は以下のようにも表現できると思いました(*^_^*)
