The conversation between human and AI assistant.
How can I determine when to use had, have, had been etc?
Got it. What about "I have been living in this city for 5 years now"?
"Have been living" is in the present perfect continuous tense. This construction is used to describe ongoing actions that started in the past and continue up until the present. In this case, the person is still living in the city and has been for 5 years.
