| Dec 8, 2015 at 5:15 | comment | added | Damkerng T. | There is one non-obvious part that you removed from the original: chiefly. This is important because the present perfect is not used exclusively for the actions or events stated as such in that sentence. For example, in I've lived here for 10 years, the speaker doesn't mean that their living here is completed and will not continue into the future. | |
