中文 了 - How to use 了
大家好
请回答我的问题:这些句子对吗?
第一个:我刚才学了中文。I've just started learning Chinese.
第二个:我学了一年半的中文了。I've been studying Chinese for 1,5 year.
第三个:我在北京住了三年 - I lived there for three years. 我在北京住了三年了 - I've been living there for three now and I continue to live there now.
第四个:
I don't understand the difference:
去年我去美国了
去年我去美国
My textbook says the the first one represents the past but the second one represents the past tense too. How can I choose an appropriate variant to use?
Thank you in advance!

第三个:我在北京住了三年 - I lived there for three years.
我己经在北京住了三年了 - I've been living there for three now and I continue to live there now.<

Actually, it doesn't matter wether you put the word (了)at the end of the sentenc.
"了" just make you speak or sentence more fluently. In the other word ,more like a chinese speaker.
"了" does not have any meaning. i think, it just like word "oh" or something elas in english.
「了」並沒有什麼特殊含義,只是一個語助詞。放於句尾,使句子感覺講起來通順。實際上,放或不放「了」並不會對句子的意義造成太大的變化。
