When you will be following desde with a clause that contains a verb.
No lo vio desde la semana pasada (I haven't seen him since last week)
No lo vio desde que tuvo cinco años (I haven't seen him since he was five).

Correct, although to make this explanation a bit more comprehensive, this can be extended to other prepositions: "Hasta ayer.. " vs "Hasta que te vi", or "para mi madre" vs "para que lo sepas", etc.. - bill1111, Oct 18, 2010
