One of the lessons included things that were happening in the past but are still ongoing. Instead of the present perfect, it included the present tense and then something else (it was not this lesson). Could you tell me where that lesson is or explain it to me? Thanks.
Something in the past that continues.

Something in the past that continues.
This question relates to:Spanish lesson "Using desde (hace) with the present instead of the perfect tense to express since/for"

Hola Ricky,
I imagine you are referring to "llevar + gerund"?
If it is not this one, let us know again. There are lots of lessons about "ongoing actions".
Saludos

Hola, Inma,
Yes, this is what I was looking for but it is confusing to me. It is my understanding that llevar means to take, carry or wear. How does it relate to this gerund example?
Gracias,
Ricky
