Live in New York for three years Dear all
Is it okay just to say, "I live in New York for three years" when you mean you have lived there for three years? It can be a basic question, but I'm not sure if it's totall wrong or acceptable....
OP
Thank you!

Teacher Re: Live in New York for three years if you were in New York for three years, it was in the past. It would have to be, "I lived in New York for three years."
