I have lived in Paris for 4 years.

When translated should it be...J'ai habits à Paris depuis 4 and.

or... J'habite à Paris depuis 4 and.

This question relates to:French lesson "Using the present tense (Le Présent) - and not the compound past (Le Passé Composé) - in sentences with "depuis" (since/for) in French (French Prepositions of Time)"

The answer is -

J'habite - the present tense.

Since it is an ongoing action, the French uses the present tense.
