Alessandro explanation is completely right! Evandro's explanation is right because I can understand his point of view but it's wrong the way he touched the English grammar. Vamos lá! This construction ( TER + verb in the participle) is not equivalent to " Have + participle " in English. I lived = Morei I have lived = Morei I have been living = Tenho morado That causes a lot of confusion for English speakers. Many of my students say things like " Hoje tenho tomado café-da-manhã " because they do the literal translation "I have had breakfast ". With this example, I cannot give you another one that we very often use, but the verb " ANDAR " is also a way to express " have been + doing something). look: Eu ando tendo pesadelos = I've been having nightmares Maria anda fazendo o trabalho todo errado = Maria's been doing the work the wrong way O que você anda fazendo ultimamente? = What have you been doing lately? Andei estudando bastante para a prova = I HAD been studying a lot for the exam Ele andou buscando um apartamento e encontrou um no centro = He had been looking for an apartment and found one in downtown.

Hi... "Eu morei aqui por 5 anos" In this case, means you lived there but now you are not living there. "Eu tenho morado aqui por 5 anos" "Eu moro aqui há 5 anos" In both cases, means you are still living there. But "Eu tenho morado aqui por 5 anos" it's not usual in brazilian Portuguese. You could use "Eu estou morando aqui há 5 anos". It's more common but it's more informal.

Hello, "Eu morei aqui por 5 anos" means you lived there but now you are not living there. "Eu tenho morado aqui por 5 anos" or "Eu moro aqui há 5 anos" means you are still living there

"Eu morei aqui por 5 anos" is the right because Portuguese doesn't use present perfect with "have" like in English. some example: I did my homework last week - Eu fiz a minha lição de casa na semana passada. (simple past) I have done my homework - eu fiz a minha lição de casa . (present perfect) You can see that portuguese doesn't change de past tense when you can say about the finished past event (simple past) and it don't finish past event.(present perfect). I hope to help you.
