Well, can I use present perfect when I wanna say something that begun in past and keep happening, right?

Let's suposse I want to say where I'm living. Which of these sentence I could use?

I have lived there since I was born.

I have been living there since I was born.

**Vou escrever em português também caso não dê para entender meu inglês. rsrs

Bom, posso usar o present perfect quando eu quero falar algo que iniciou no passado e ainda acontece no presente, correto?

Vamos supor que eu quero dizer onde estou vivendo. Qual dessas frases eu poderia usar?

I have lived there since I was born.

I have been living there since I was born.

Point my mistakes above out, please.

O sentido é o mesmo.
	Live long and prosper!

	I'm just me and no one else. Be yourself.
