Hi,

Can you tell me if this sentence is right :

That servant has been working for me for two years now??

Can we use now at the end of it ???

Thanks

Yes, it �s right! You can use "now" in the meaning of "by now", "by this moment". Present perfect simple and continuous are both suitable with this indicator.

I �d love to know what the context of this query is.

The addition of "now" after present perfect is somewhat colloquial, and definitely informal, but very common.
