    Few questions... 1. Which one is correct: "This (It) is very interesting movie! Have you seen (watched) it?" or "This (It) is very interesting movie! Did you see (watch) it?" 2. A situation: I used to smoke. I started smoking when I was 17. But 4 years ago I quit smoking. Will it be correct if I say NOW "I have been smoking since I was 17"?

    Grammar - Is it big mistake if I say... Situation: Linda is from Australia. She is travaling round Europe at the moment. She began her tour three months ago. Is it big mistake if I say: "She is travaling Europ for three month" instead of saing: "She has been travaling Europe for three months"? The latter is recommended by R.Murphy "Grammar in use". Just in case...Thanks, My Language Tutor for you answer, but now I have two more questions: First: If she is currently traveling, yes.. you should say "She has been traveling...." Does it mean that I have to use Present Perfect Continues becouse I'm refering to the period of time "for three month"? And if I say: "She is traveling Europe" meanig that she is somewhere in Europe at the time of speaking, it would be correct. And second: Could you bring some more examples of when I need to use "She will be traveling...." form. It is very interesting for me.

    I agree with most of the answers. Some additions. If you mean "possess", you need to form you sentence in following way: first - Who has something? - I - у меня; he - у него; she - у нее; they - у них. Second - in English you use "have" or "has", in Russian - есть. It means "есть" is your "have/has". And third - what he/she/they/you have/has? - noun in nominative case (just take it as is from your dictionary). Now lets try: I have a book: 1 - у меня 2 - есть 3 - книга. In order to fully explain you what Andrey means saing "people will laugh for long time". In slang the verb "имею" could be interpreted as "sexual act". I mean the expression"Он имеет somebody" will be traslated "He has a sexual act(s) with somebody". And if "somebody" is book - it looks funny :) But it is too early for you to know such a detail of Great Russian language! I'm joking :)

Now it is again out of order. "Where is the report you've been working on last two hours?" "I haven't finished it yet, because my computer is broken down (has broken down?). I do not know why it is always breaking down (breaks down?)”. Please clarify.
