Объяснение:
Present Perfect образуется с помощью вспомогательного глагола have или has + V₃ (третьей формы смыслового глагола). Есть характерные маркеры времени. В этом задании встречаются since / for.
Since - обозначает точку на шкале времени (last winter, July).
For - если за предлогом следует описание отрезка времени (six months, a long time).
