JLPT N1

～てからというもの

Ever since ~ (a particular event occurred)

Structure

Verb て-form + からというもの

How it works

This grammar point is used to express that a noticeable change or continuous state started immediately after a particular event and has continued since.

Examples

あの歌手のコンサートへ行ってからというもの、彼女のファンになった。

Ever since going to that singer's concert, I became her fan.

Common mistakes

Confusing it with simple '～てから' which just indicates a sequential action without the emphasis on a subsequent continuous state.

Tip

Think of it like 'since then, and nothing has been the same.'
