- Su propia respuesta. Se espera presente perfecto y «for» o «since», y una respuesta corta natural: «For six years», no la frase entera repetida.
- Su propia respuesta. «So far» pide presente perfecto: «I have learned how to…». Dos o tres cosas encadenadas.
- Su propia respuesta. La respuesta corta es «Yes, I have» o «No, I haven't», y después el detalle concreto en pasado simple.
- Su propia respuesta. Aquí el tiempo cambia: al concretar un momento terminado se usa pasado simple, no presente perfecto.
- Su propia respuesta. Se espera presente perfecto en la razón («I have wanted…») y, si aparece un plan, «I would like to…».
