‘I’ve lived here for 10 months.’ or ‘I’ve been living here for 10 months.’?
Don’t worry if you’re still confused between ‘have done’ and ‘have been doing’.
The Present Perfect tense is a nightmare! I’m sure you agree! Part of the nightmare is the difference between ‘state’ and ‘action’ verbs.
Let’s clear up the confusion so you can use this tense confidently when you speak English!

A little about me:

My name is Minoo. I’m originally from Iran, and I live and work in the U.K.

I’m a qualified English teacher and teacher trainer, but that’s not what makes me good at my job.

I just love teaching! It makes me feel good when I can share something I’ve learned with others. That’s why I still love teaching English after 40 years of doing it!

English is such a vast and complicated language! My passion is to make it as easy as possible for others to learn. My students always praise my ‘clear explanations’ and ‘structured method’.

I suppose I can explain things well because I’m not a native speaker. I’ve struggled with English pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary myself. I’ve had to work out the rules and learn the exceptions, and I just love sharing my own discoveries with others like me who are learning English as a foreign language.

Thank you so much, everyone, for all the ‘likes’ and your lovely and supportive comments! I’m so grateful for your support!
