It has not rained for a long time.

Hi,

Are these sentences correct?

It has not rained for a long time.
It has not rained since long.

Can I also say: "There has been no rain for a long time/since long"?

 

[Rover_KE]

The ones with 'since long' are incorrect.

If you use "since", you need to use a specific timeframe.

It hasn't rained since Tuesday.
It hasn't rained since February.
It hasn't rained since 1978.
It hasn't rained since my birthday.
