The problem: which form to use have+ verb3 or have + been + ing

Had is a static verb for present perfect continuous too
For live and work you can use both forms when you want to say how long http://forum.wordreference.com…
If Always is in the sentence (between had and verb3) then present perfect simple only
If negative - present perfect simple

Unit 2 Present Simple (I do) (updated)

Илья Харламов — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 19:11:00 GMT

Книга: English Grammar in Use 3rd edition by Raymond Murphy
Глава: Unit 2 Present Simple (I do)

Today we studied most common used tense - Present Simple that is used for actions you perform on a regular basis: every day/week/month etc.
Although it has some exceptions: the verbs that describes only current state, but used in simple form: I insist, I remember, He apologies
The huge advantage of our today's call is that we spoken english most of the time.
We did good exercise work and watched a YouTube of the day - 3 year girl that talks about star wars movie - it's one more case of present simple usage.
Finally we discussed the way how to improve our vocabulary, Denis suggested a way to tall short fairy-tale stories that actively use rare words.
