"I have been living" versus "I have lived"?
Present Perfect Continuous
➡ Sentence Structure : Subject + have/has + been + V4 (ing Verb) + Object
Example: "I've been living in Paris for 2 years"
This tense is called the "Present Perfect Continuous" (have been living).
It means I have lived there for 2 years and, by implication, that I'm going to continue to live there for at least the near future. I am going to continue living in Paris.
Present Perfect Tense
➡ Sentence Structure : Subject + have/has + V3(Past Participle) + Object
Example: "I've lived in Paris for 2 years"
This tense is called the "Present Perfect Simple" (have lived) and simply means from then until now I have lived there for 2 years and it doesn't indicate whether I intend to continue living in Paris.
