simple past or present perfect
|
I need your help
which one is the best choice?
she and 2 friends own a bookstore called Logos, which they (started / have started) since 2 years.
is it right that we couldn �t use the verb "to start" in the perfect aspect?
the use of "since 2years " is it wrong in this sentence?

hi Zakia,
it �s not correct to say "since two years" but we can say "two years ago". So the tense that can be used in this case is the simple past.
.......which they started two years ago.

I�d say " which they started 2 years ago" or " they have owned it for 2 years" |
