Dear colleagues:
Here's my opinion about the previous sentences (what hasn't been decided on yet):
Since I started the job two years ago, I've met important people from all over the world.
We can say: from around the world, though from all over the world seems also correct
I arrived (at / in) school late
We usually say at school but I think both are correct
He says that he had dreamed of climbing the mountain since he was a toddler
Grammatically speaking, there must be something wrong with the sentence for the following reasons:
Firstly, as a rule, says is not followed by Past Tenses
Secondly, since cannot be preceded by Past Tenses and cannot link two past actions, we can generally use when / after / before / as soon as / etc. instead;
My only solution is:
He says (now) that he has dreamed of climbing the mountain since he was a toddler.
Best Regards
