Eli5. What’s the difference between “She has used the bag for three years” and “She has been using the bag for three years”.

Question

I encountered this earlier in my class and I can’t quite tell the difference. Please help. Non-native English speaker here 🥲

Answer 1

The first seems like it would have further context, for example: Gifting the bag to someone else and informing them its really good for having seen use for 3 years.

Another example: after the user bought a new bag because the mentioned one has worn out.
