Grammar

Is it  grammatically correct to say:"I have had this car since 2004"k,or is the correct way:"I have this car since 2004"?? Reason??

I thnik the rigth way is : "I had been this car since 2004" rean verbal timing

"i hve this car since 2004" is the correct type reason sounds better and fast while saying

To you Rinaldo, both are correct…in the first one you want to say that you had this car since 2004 but you do not have it any more, but in the second you still have the car.

Hi,

The correct answer is I have had this car since 2004.

 Trust me it is right.

 Cheers

you can say I have had this car since 2004 or i have been having this car since 2004…..............i think, am i right?

I've been having this car is NOT correct.

 A reason why?

I will post it tomorrow.

Any similar questions. Send me a message.

 sorry for the short answer but the reason for the fault is a bit long

Cheers people

Hello rinaldo38!

The correct sentence is I have had this car since 2004. Because you got the car in 2004 and  you still have it at the time you are speaking. To talk about an event that started in the past and happens up to the present time you have to use the present perfect tense which, by the way, is very difficult for some people to understand. Believe me, the first sentence is the correct one! ;)

If you need more help, let me know ok? :)

Best wishes 

Hi,thank you very much.I have got it now. Have a nice day.              Rinaldo "
