Notes 

  1 When you ask about something that started in the past but continues to the present time, you use the Present Perfect tense, e.g.: I've been there for 5 years / I've been there for 5 years.当你谈论在过去开始但是一直持续到现在的某事时,用现在完成时态,例如:I've been there for 5 years/我在那里已经5年了。

  2 If you are talking about something that is completely in the past,you use the Past Tense (sometimes called the Imperfect),e.g.: I used to live in Seattle / I used to live in Seattle;I worked there for a few years / I worked there for as few years;I was born in San Francisco / I was born in San Francisco.如果所谈论的事情完全发生在过去,则用过去时态(有时也叫做未完成时态),例如:I used to live in Seattle /我过去住在西雅图。I worked there for a few years /我在那里工作了几年。;  I was born in San Francisco /我出生在旧金山
