I usually live in London, but I have lived with my parents in New York for the past two months. (wrong)

[Alice Chu]

The present perfect simple cannot indicate a temporary action or an action happening at the moment of speaking, so the two sentences below are incorrect. Is my understanding correct?



1) I usually live in London, but I have lived with my parents in New York for the past two months.

“Have been living” should be used here.



2) You have done your homework for two hours. Why not take a break and have some tea?

“Have been doing” should be used here.

The progressive form is more likely, but the non-progressive form is not impossible.

2) You have done your homework for two hours. Why not take a break and have some tea?

“Have been doing” should be used here.

Correct.
