Teach me English!?

Question

My first language is Japanese.

Which exression is the most natural for common usage or school English, under this context?
A man has 10year-carrer at Toyota and still there.

1 He is working for Toyota.
2 He works for Toyota.
3 He has been working for Toyota.
4 anything else?

and one more.
I have lived in NY for 5years
I have been living in NY for 5years.
I live in NY for 5years.
I'm living in NY for 5years.

Thank you in advance.

Those are really confusing. what is the defferences?

Answer 1

I'll teach you English if you teach me Japanese... I always wanted to learn it! Well to answer your question, either 2 or 3 would work fine for the Toyota one. The difference is that number 1, although correct grammmatically, isn't what people would normally say when talking to each other. 2 is more natural sounding, like if you were talking about this guy and said ''Yeah, he works for Toyota''. He has been working for Toyota suggests that maybe he isn't doing it any more? or could be an answer to the question ''So what has he been doing lately?''.

Second question; ''I live in NY for 5 years'' or ''I'm living in NY for 5 years'' isn't correct in English. It is a rather childish way to express this, but you would still be understood. A better way would be to say 1 or 2. 1 is more conversational.

If you fancy teaching me Japanese I'd be very pleased!

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

For the man with the 10 year career at Toyota;
2. He works for Toyota
- is the best option you've provided, but if you want to make it clear that he's been working there for a long time ...
4. He works for Toyota, he's been with them for 10 years now.

For you;
I have been living in New York for 5 years.
- this also tells people that you still live there!

Answer 3

He has worked at Toyota for 10 years.

I have lived in NY for 5 years.

Answer 4

He works for Toyota

I've lived in NY for 5 years > past
I've been living in NY for 5 years > still live in NY

Answer 5

Okay, first the spelling is career, not carrer
Second If a man has been working for Toyota for 10 years, that implies that he is still there, so that would be the best.
Again, if you are still in New York, then I have been living in New York for five years is correct.

Answer 6

He works for Toyota.

I have been living in NY for 5 years now.

Answer 7

He's working for Toyota ............

I Lived in NY for 5 years

Answer 8

"He works for Toyota"

and

I have lived in NY for 5 years

Answer 9

First question: yes to 1, 2 and 3, and maybe 4 but I'm too tired to think.
