Hi,
I was wondering if any of the following sentences was ungrammatical or less idiomatic.
'It's 4 years I've been working on this model.'
'It's 4 years I'm working on this model.'
'It's been 4 years I've been working on this model.'
'It's been 4 years I'm working on this model.'
In this case please let the 'it's 4 years' part remain at the beginning of the sentence. Thanks in advance.
(I suppose, the second parts are all correct, but in the case of the 'present perfect continuous' it could suggest the model has been completed. Is that right?)
