Question

correct the tense in the sentence.

I lived in kolkata since 1960.

Answer 1

I had been living in Kolkata since 1960

Answer 2

Answer:

I have been living in Kolkata since 1960.

Explanation:

As the speaker wants to convey that his residence has been in Kolkata for the past years and has used since which means that he still lives in Kolkata.

• We use since to show that something has been happening for the past years and is still happening.
• We have used the present perfect tense here as, the act of living by the speaker, still continues at present as it continued for the past years.
