1. I’ve lived in this house since 2011. (Я живу в этом доме с 2011 года.)
2. We’ve had our pet rabbit for only six weeks. (Наш кролик живёт у нас всего шесть недель.)

5. I’ve written poems since I was ten years old. (Я пишу стихи с десяти лет.)
6. Charlotte has been in the football team since 2013, so she has been a footballer for 12 years. (Шарлотта играет в футбольной команде с 2013 года, значит, она футболистка уже 12 лет — если считать до 2025 года.)
7. Joshua has played tennis since he was four years old. He was born in 2010, so he has played tennis for 11 years. (Джошуа играет в теннис с четырёх лет. Он родился в 2010 году, значит, играет уже 11 лет — если считать до 2025 года.)

Примечание: В пунктах 6–7 использован расчёт до 2025 года: 2025 − 2013 = 12; Джошуа начал играть в 2014 году, поэтому 2025 − 2014 = 11. В другом текущем году число лет может отличаться.
