Synonyms in the past, before the present, before, earlier, back, in time gone by, since, formerly, previously formal heretofore UsageWhen ago is followed by a clause, the clause should be introduced by that rather than since, e.g. it was sixty years ago that I left this place (not it was sixty years ago since I left this place). The use of since is not correct in standard English. OriginMiddle English ago, agone, past participle of the obsolete verb ago 'pass', used to express passage of time.
