Hello
Could you explain, is there a big difference between:
1. I've been living here for 4 years
2. I've libed here for 4 years
I know that present perfect continuous implies duration of something. But in this case I guess both sentences are correct?
And one more. For example, I'm a employer. And I have been/was looking for a man like you. The question is, have been or was ? I think "I've been looking for a man like you", because we use past continuous more like narrative tense, like "It was raining when something happend", right?
Thank you
