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 🥲

Usually they’re semantically the same. “Has been using” can imply that the use was more active and regular than “has used” though.
