Question

He _____ in the States , but he still doesn't have a command over the English Language. (Fill up choosing the right alternative.)

• A. Have been living
• B. Has been living
• C. Living
• D. Have lived

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Has been living

The sentence indicates that he started living in the States in the past and is still living there now. For an action that began in the past and continues to the present, we use the Present Perfect Continuous Tense.

Structure:

• He/She/It + has been + verb + -ing

✅ He has been living in the States...

Why the other options are wrong?

❌ Have been living – have is used with I, you, we, they.
❌ Living – incomplete sentence.
❌ Have lived – incorrect with He; it should be has lived.
