Since + present perfcet
Hi everyone, I would like to clarify one point related to - since. Where can we use present perfect with it? Only at the beginning or after it either?
E.g. I have lived here since 2000
Can I say - It is only 14 years since we have lived here? OR It has been 14 years since we lived here?
-----
Thank you in advance!
