Hi,
I have a query regarding 'Having + past participle'. Can we use it to represent both present perfect tense and past perfect tense?
E.g She had hung the laundry. She took a nap.
Having hung the laundry, she took a nap.
She has worked here. She knows the area well.
Having worked here, she knows this area well.
Hi Team.
Help me with this, please.
1. I've lived in Bali all my life.
2. I've been living in Bali all my life.
=================
From my perspective "have lived" and "have been living" are statements which imply to unfinished time periode.
Eventhough, Could you explain me what the difference meaning of these sentence is. Thank you.
Yes, both of the sentences refer to an unfinished time period, which in this case is your lifetime. Our Present Perfect Simple and Present Perfect Continuous page explains this difference in some detail, and Rob addresses it in the Language Focus video for Music Scene 2. Once you've looked at those resources, if you have any specific questions, please feel free to ask us.
