Hi Neto,
You asked:
| Quote: |
| Is it ok if I say,' I have been doing this since I was born ; or should it be , I have been doing this since I have been born????? Thanks. |
The correct form is:
I have been doing this since I was born.
I have been doing this (means from that time up to this time [now] ) since I was born (from that point of time in the past).
