.

Answer 3

You have some of the modifiers misplaced. I think it might read a little better like this: "For five years I lived in that house where my friend, Ann, has now lived for ten years." You could also put it into two sentences: "I lived in that house for five years. My friend, Ann, has now lived there for ten years."

Answer 4

It's a confusing sentence without correct punctuation and knowing the context... But I'll give it a whirl:
My friend Ann has lived in this house for ten years now, while I have only lived there for five years.
That is grammatically correct, but I don't know if that is what you mean. There are a myriad of ways to write that sentence, all depending on what you want it to say to its readers.

Answer 5

My friend Ann has lived for ten years in the same house that I lived in previously for five years.

Answer 6

I once had lived in that house,for five years,my friend Ann has lived there for ten years.

Answer 7

No. Friends should not be plural. Ann is a proper noun, and should be capitalized. "Now" is redundant at end of sentence. The sentence is comma-spliced, and its awkwardness confuses its meaning. The best way would be to use two sentences, but try this.

"My friend Ann has now lived for ten years in the same house where I lived for five years."

Answer 8

I'm not 100% sure what you're trying to say, actually, but here are variations:

"My friend Ann has, for 10 years, lived in the house where I lived for 5."

"I lived in that house 5 years, whereas my friend Ann has lived there for 10."

"I lived in that house for 5 years. My friend Ann has lived there for 10.."

The way you have is not proper english, no. I really can't tell if you're talking about an Aunt or a friend named Ann though.

Answer 9

the usage of tense is wrong:

If an activity is continuing right now, you must use the present progressive tense. Therefore, if you are currently staying in that house, it must be am living, not lived.

If Ann has moved out, it would be "where Ann lived"; but if Ann is still living there, that activity started at some point of time in the past and is still continuing, it should be in the present perfect tense. If an activity started in the past and continued for sometime and then stopped in the past, it should be in the past perfect tense.

You can say, "I am living in that house for five years, in which my friend Ann had lived for ten years. (Assuming Ann is not living there anymore)

If Ann is living there even now: I am living in that house for five years, where Ann has lived for ten years.

It is a practice to use adverbs such as for and since with perfect tenses, not a rule, just a practice.

Answer 10

I lived in that house for five years, whereas my friend ann has lived there for ten (Adding the word "now" is redundant. Obviously she is living there now).

There are a lot of other ways to build that sentence, as well.
