Thank you Ruslana.
1) Can we also say, "I have lived here many times?"
Taking your suggestion, by using the present perfect continuous, the person is still living here and has lived here for a continuous period of time.
However, if he lived in that place on and off- say when he's vacationing- can he say, "I have lived here many times"? Or is the use of the present perfect wrong here and it should be the simple past instead (lived)?
2) Is today correct here? Isn't "these days" or "nowadays" more suitable? Arent's these words followed by a comma when situated initially in a sentence?
Is this correction valid?:
These days, movies are more interesting than they used to be. [I think to add 'in the past' is quite redundant here]
or: Movies these days are more interesting than they used to be.
Feedback is much appreciated.
