Answer 2

Certainly! Let's break it down.

1. "How long do you know/have you known Mary?" The correct tense here is "have you known." This is because the question is asking about the duration of time you have known Mary, and it requires the present perfect tense to refer to an action that started in the past and has relevance to the present.

2. "I live/I've lived here for eight years." The correct tense here is "I've lived." This indicates an action that started in the past (eight years ago) and continues into the present. It's the present perfect tense.

3. "I'm going/I've been home on Saturday." The correct tense here is "I'm going." This indicates a future action—going home on Saturday.

4. "I have/I've had this car since 1982." The correct tense here is "I've had." This is the present perfect tense, indicating an action that started in the past (in 1982) and continues up to the present.

5. "Sorry I'm late. Are you waiting/Have you been waiting long?" Both are acceptable, but "Have you been waiting long?" better emphasizes the continuous aspect of the waiting. The present perfect continuous tense indicates an action that started in the past and has a connection to the present.

II

1. "Have you ever seen/did you ever see a boxing match?" The correct tense here is "Have you ever seen." This is the present perfect tense, referring to an experience at an unspecified time in the past that has relevance to the present.

2. "Have you ever been/did you ever go camping when you were a child?" The correct tense here is "Have you ever been." Again, it's the present perfect tense, referring to the experience of camping at an unspecified time in the past with relevance to the present.

3. "Where have you had/did you have lunch yesterday?" The correct tense here is "did you have." This is asking about a specific time in the past (yesterday), so the past simple tense is appropriate here.
