Hi, is there a difference between present perfect and present perfect continuous as in the sentences below:
- I have lived in the USA since 1990.
- I have been living in the USA since 1990.
- I have worked here for ten years.
- I have been working here for ten years.
I’ve read that both tenses are used to show “duration from the past until now”. However, I’m a little confused because I have read that there is a difference between the two tenses. Please help & thanks.
