Please I'd like to know the difference between these two sentences:
- He's living in Paris.
- He's been living in Paris.

I know that the first one is in present simple and the other is in present perfect simple, but they seen to be so similar.



Thanks


Lilian

He's living in Paris.
He's been living in Paris.

I know that the first one is in present simple No, it's present continuous.

and the other is in present perfect simple, No, it's present perfect continuous.
but they seen to be so similar. They both mean 'He lives in Paris.' (present simple)


Thanks
