Explanation:

1. “since” is used with present - perfect tense for a point in time from which an action has continued.
2. “since” is appropriate as it indicates the starting point of the non - playing action.
3. “since” shows the starting time of work problems.
4. “have forgotten” is in present - perfect tense for a past action with present relevance.
5. “have cleared” indicates the action's result affects the present (traffic is normal).
6. “have you had” is in present - perfect to ask about the duration of having the watch.
7. “she lost it” is in simple past after “since” to show the starting point of not seeing the ring.
8. “No, not yet” is a common response for present - perfect questions about an action not done.
9. “haven't” is the contraction for the present - perfect negative.
10. “was cleaned” is in simple past for a past - completed action a week ago.
11. “have ever done” is in present - perfect to emphasize the best work up to now.
12. “I packed my bags” is in simple past for a past - completed action this morning.
13. “yet” is used in negative present - perfect sentences to mean up to now.
14. “have cooked” is in present - perfect to show a past action with present result (no need to make food).
