Could you correct the comments in parentheses, please? Are they right?
I have lived in Los Angeles. (A completed action; the person does not live there anymore).
I have lived in Los Angeles my whole life. (The person is still living there, or spent her whole life in Los Angeles, but is currently
living in another location).
I have been living in Los Angeles. (She doesn't live there anymore, but was living there recently, or is still living there).
I have been living in Los Angeles my whole life. (The person is still living there or spent her whole life in Los Angeles, but is
currently living in another location).
Thanks
Answer
"I have lived in Los Angeles" (Correct or "I lived in Los Angeles" is acceptable, depending on the context if A completed action, if the person does not live there anymore).
"I have lived in Los Angeles my whole life." (Correct if the person is still living there, or spent her whole life in Los Angeles, but is currently living in another location).
"I have been living in Los Angeles." (Incorrect if She doesn't live there anymore, but was living there recently, but Correct if
she is still living there).
"I have been living in Los Angeles my whole life." (Incorrect if the person is still living there or spent her whole life in Los
Angeles, but is currently living in another location. "I lived in
Los Angeles my whole life" is the correct phrasing).
