Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is: have been working here
Key Points
- 'Been' is used to indicate an action that took part in the past or an earlier time.
- As the past participle, 'been' in the form of 'be' is used in the present perfect and past perfect tense.
- In this sentence, it is said that the speaker has been working here for ten years.
- Therefore, "the present perfect continuous tense" should be used here.
- The structure follows: Subject + have/has + been + verb (ing) + the rest of the sentence
- Therefore, only option 1 is following the exact rule.
- Thus, option 1 is the correct answer.
Corrected sentence: I have been working here for the past ten years.
