Bonjour
Il faut réfléchir au sens:
Il est monté dans le train il y a deux heures ne peut pas se transformer en il monte dans le train depuis deux heures, il n'est pas entrain ne mettre le pied sur la première marche depuis deux heures, il faut modifier le verbe : il voyage depuis deux heures.

They have gotten a divorce since he won the lottery.(ils ne sont plus ensemble depuis...)

She has been leaving for a long while ago.(ben non, elle n'est plus là depuis longtemps)

5 They got a computer for their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
They have gotten a computer since their 50th wedding anniversary.(participe passé américain, en fait ils ne continuent pas à l'acheter, ils l'ont)

6 He died on Monday.
He has died since Monday.(ne confondez pas mourir, verbe d'action (to die), la dernière d'un être vivant, expirer et être mort (to be dead), un état, comme quand je vous dis que le dossier de ma chaise est fait de bois mort.il est mort,inerte, depuis lundi)

7 He last rode a motorbike when he was twenty-two.
