Question

这个英语语法填空，能解释一下嘛？

The name Chang'e comes from a Chinese goddess that many Chinese believe______(live) on the moon for thousands of years.
为什么是填“has lived”？请解释一下，谢谢。

Answer 1

把many Chinese bielive 理解为插入语，把它删掉。goddess是定语从句的先行词，that 是定语从句的连接词，相当于who，嫦娥从几千年前一直生活到现在，故用现在完成时has lived.

Answer 2

嫦娥 什么什么 on the moon for thousands of years 是已经在月亮上生活了千万年，因此要用现在完成时，用 has lived
