2) I knew them when I was a student. - This sentence is in the simple past tense. It indicates that the action of knowing them happened in the past when the speaker was a student. The correct form is "knew," not "have been knowing."

3) When she was a child, she didn't believe in ghosts. - This sentence talks about a belief or lack of belief in the past. When she was a child, she did not believe in ghosts. The action of not believing happened in the past.

4) Japan has been producing cars for many years. - This sentence describes a continuous action that started in the past and is still happening in the present. Japan started producing cars many years ago, and this production has continued up until now. The present perfect continuous tense "has been producing" is used to show the ongoing nature of the action.
