The words ‘above’ and ‘over’ are both prepositions and adverbs which are used to describe the position of any person or object and also when we discuss measurements, i.e. a level which is higher than another level on a scale. When something is above something else, i.e. the first thing is directly perpendicular to the latter, then we use over to indicate the position.
On the other hand, when the upper object is not in direct vertical line with the lower object, then we use the word above to describe the location of the object.

‘Since’ offers an unfinished statement. For E.g.
I have been living here since 1998.
It means, ‘I’ have been living and continue to live.
‘From’ offers a finished statement.
For E.g.
I have been living from 1998 till 2008.
‘I’ have been living and completed living in the year 1998. The sentence is covered between two points in time.
