АДКАЗАЦЬ
pdxgaryMarch 2018 Both are correct. Yes, maybe some people feel more comfortable with the first version but the second is equally correct. A common version of that phrase is to say, "I've been here for 5 years." No real need to say, "I've been living here...." It's generally assumed.
![]() | Raha60October 2017 I've lived here for 5 years is true |
![]() | AcasualdreamApril 2015 They are both correct and interchangeable. Cheers |
vincentOctober 2016 Thanks for the tip

![]() | mac2210March 2023 @ AussieInBg - English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy published by Cambridge University Press and Advanced Grammar in Use by Martin Hewings published by Cambridge University Press. I believe it’s correct |
![]() | ComtedeMonteCristoJuly 2020 The two sentences are interchangeable and both are correct. |
![]() | exRangerNovember 2019 Oh jeezuz people: both statements are "okay"; sure, y'all can "split hairs" re: nuances of intended meaning, etc., but @ the end of the day I, for example, a person who relocated to France five (5) years ago can state either of the sentences offered up by "Eirina" (Ирина, да?) in response to THIS SINGLE QUESTION: "How long have you lived in France?" 1. I've been living in France for five years." and 2. "I've lived in France for five years." BOTH are perfectly correct yo. |
