Hello,
I am working with the sentence is 'He's lived here for five years'
And my concept questions so far are:
- When did he move here? 5 years ago
- Does he live here now? Yes
- How long has he lived here for? 5 years
Could you please tell me if they are useful? and could you think of others I could use?
Thank you. [/b]
