To say how long (often with since or for)
E.g.: How long have you lived here? - Since 1998.
We use the Present Perfect I have studied/ worked
Trang 3A) Complete the sentences Use either Simple Past or the Present Perfect
1. _ (you/ever/be) here?
Yes, I _(be) here several times. In fact it´s the fifth time I am here
2. This is the worst news we _ (hear) for years
3. My teacher _ (have) a black Ford for as long as know her
4. I _(not see) Mary since she _(be) ill. I wish I _ (can) do something for her
