Choose the best response to the question below. ¿Hace cuánto tiempo que vives aquí?

To say how long an action has continued up to the present, Spanish uses “hace + length of time + que” followed by the present tense. The question uses “vives” (“you live”), so the response is “Hace once años que vivo aquí” (“I’ve lived here for eleven years”). “Viví” and “viviste” describe past actions, while “desde” does not belong in this construction.
