(Elementary. Troubleshooting: Present Perfect vs Past Simple. Part 2: Finished or continued situations)

Present perfect vs past simple is one of the scariest parts of English structure for all students. But really, it doesn't have to be. It's simple. Take a look:

(In 2021:)

1. "I have lived here since 2016."
2. "I lived here for over 5 years."
3. "I lived here since 2016"
4. "I have lived here for 5 over years."
   
   Which sentence is wrong?
   
   Which two sentences have the same meaning? 
   
   If you are unsure, come listen to this episode and practice with me. I promise you'll be using them accurately almost immediately, you'll get lots of practice (especially if you listen more than once!), and you'll learn how to practice on your own.
