Fill in the blanks to complete the student's bizarre conversation with the campus library ghost.
Student: Excuse me, sir. How long have you _________________________ in the history section?
Ghost: I have haunted these exact shelves _________________________ 1842, so please keep your voice down! This is a library!

Excuse me, sir. How long have you lived in the history section? I have haunted these exact shelves since 1842...

The present perfect tense is formed with have/has + the past participle of the verb (in this case, "lived").

We use "since" before a specific year or date (like 1842) to show exactly when the action began.
