Am I right?

I think that the last sentence has a mistake. We use "always" in Present Simple.
-Do you always live here?
- Have you ever lived here?
It is may be some kind of exception? Am I right?

Hi Yura

Hi Yura,

here are the three questions you mention in bold and what they mean. I hope they help

Do you always live here?
Do you also live in another place?

Have you ever lived here?
You do not live here now, but did you live here at any time in the past?

Have you always lived here?
Have you lived in this place for the whole of your life?

Good luck,

Chris

hi Chris

I think there is something wrong with the fifth
in this sentence you use present perfect tense
But you also use Always,it mean the action is performed again and again.as a routine so should we drop Always or use simple present tense in stead of present perfect tense?

Sentense 5...???

I think that the sentense 5 has a mistake. Because "always" just for Present Tense.
Can you help me to clarify the last sentense?
Thanks so much for this lesson!
