It is/has been two weeks since I came here.
Which verb should I use?
Many thanks.
@tanguatlay,
They're both perfectly acceptable.
I can't think of an instance when they're not interchangeble.
@tanguatlay,
It is two weeks since I came here.
It has been two weeks since I came here.
Both equally acceptable.
I agree. Either one. Damn, what's wrong with us? Are we all turning into wusses? We can't get any controversy going here? We must be getting soft.
I...........................................agree, dammit.
Many thanks for all the helpful members. Yes, for once, all of you agree. It's becoming a more peaceful world!
