Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is "have been working here."
Key Points
- Using the present perfect, we can define a period of time before now by considering its duration, with for + a period of time.
- The sentence is in present perfect tense, which requires the auxiliary verb "have" followed by the past participle form of the main verb (in this case, "been working").
- Example: Alice has been married for three months.
- Option 2 is incorrect because it uses the third person singular form "is" instead of "am."
- Option 3 is incorrect because it uses the past tense "was" instead of the present perfect tense "have been."
- Option 4 is incorrect because it uses the present participle form "having been working", which is not appropriate for this sentence structure.
- The correct answer is Option 1.
Correct sentence: I have been working here for the past ten years.
