2 since主句的时态

"We slowed down like many bands since shows were canceled or postponed. It allowed us to go back to our hometown and spend more time together creating new materials," recalls Ilchi.

正常来说,主句应该用完成时,这里是不是应该用过去完成时(后句allowed)?但却用了一般过时态。

再如有一个句子是:It was the worst flood since records began.这是有记录以来最严重的水灾。(牛津)

你不能只看表面形式而不顾语义。since引导时间状语从句时,通常主句要用完成时态。但你的第一个句子since引导的是原因状语从句。牛津例句中的since从句是修饰名词the worst flood的,是名词的修饰语。并不是修饰谓语动词的。It was the worst flood since records began.=It was the worst flood that had ever happened since records began. 你可以看出since从句并不是修饰主句的was的。
