I’ve been thinking about the subtle differences in these three sentences
1-I’ve been reading books for years
2-I’ve been reading a lot of books for years
3-I’ve been reading five books for years
From what I understand
The first sentence is the most common one and it means that I’ve read books and I still read books. Basically you finish one and move to the next.
The second isn’t common and it can also mean that , say lot is 100 books So you’ve been reading 100 books together and you still haven’t finished any of them? Or I’ve just finished all of them
The last one means that I’ve been reading five books and still haven’t finished them Or I’ve just finished all of them
Is my understanding correct here? My brain hurts after thinking of all of those interpretations.
