Hi
I am not sure if my sentences are correct. Would you be so kind and help me?
I stopped jogging in 1990.
It`s...... .
My answer: It`s a long time / It`s ages since I stopped jogging.
When did you buy that hat?
How long... .
My answer: How long is since you bought that hat? { Should I use present perfect?}
Cars are more expensive than they used to be.
The price of cars.... .
My answer: The price of cars has risen/ grown / The price of cars is higher than it used to be. I don`t know which of the two verbs is more suitable for the first sentence.
Thank you very much in advance.
