Una trampa típica
Incorrecto I wait for you since twenty minutes.
Correcto I have been waiting for you for twenty minutes.
La construcción con «llevar» se traduce mal de dos maneras. La primera es literal y no existe: I carry twenty minutes waiting. La segunda es más frecuente y suena a error de principiante: I wait since twenty minutes, con el presente español pegado al inglés. La forma correcta reordena todo: el verbo pasa a compuesto, «llevar» desaparece y «desde hace» se convierte en for.
