ex)If I have been living here for three years, then I would like to know this city much better.


Let me know if the above example sentence makes sense. If it's right, I'd like to know what it means.

I think it right 'If I had been living here for three years, then I would have known this city much better' instead of the above sentence.

Thanks.

Sorry, but the sentence doesn't sound natural.

Try: "If I lived here for three years, then I would know the city better." Maybe Joe lived here three years but doesn't know the city at all. I think I would know it better if I had lived here as long as he has.
