English Expressions
Hi friends, do they mean the same thing or the second one does not makes sense at all?

1. she has died for a long time.
2. she is dead for a long time.

Answer

Neither is correct. The first one makes no sense at all, and the second uses the wrong tense.

Here are two correct sentences:

She died a long time ago.   ---->  past simple to refer to an EVENT(she died) in the past (a long time ago)
He has been dead for a long time   ---->  present perfect for a continuing STATE

Answer

She died a long time ago.
He has been dead for a long time.

Answer

Eyup. First one is wrong. Doesn;t make sense.
