daiweide           posted by daiweide 0 Nice exercise but sentences 12-18 don´t make any sense. ´She has been waiting this for/since....´ is not right. mjotab Correction          posted by mjotab 0 yes, you are right! I´ve already changed them (since it was the same sentence all the time, it´s been easy :) Thanks a lot for your message. Malviluz For and Since          posted by Malviluz 20110904 Excellent explanation. Thanks a lot, it is useful. Cyn. Thank you for sharing!          posted by Cyn. 0 cchat problem?          posted by cchat 0 Great exercise. Sentence 19 is a bit of a problem. "I´ve been loving you FOR all my life." It should be: "I have loved you all my life." In British English, you generally don´t use a continuous with stative verbs (e.g. like, love etc.) See a longer list here: http://esl.about.com/od/grammarstructures/a/g_stative.htm And you don´t use "for" with all my life. I´ve been British all my life ;-). (But I´ve had dual nationality for 30 years.) mjotab corrected again          posted by mjotab 0 Thanks, cchat, corrected. I suppose I was influenced by the song "I´ve been loving you too long" :) Tatyana83 PEOPLE What happened to ESLPRINTABLES WORKSHEETS main site????          posted by Tatyana83 0 irissharony bravo!          posted by irissharony 0
