Hello!
Is it correct to say: I have lived here since a long time ago? Can you use since + ago together?
Thanks in advance.

No, the correct form is: I have liveed here for a long time ... or .... I have lived here since 1996..... or.... I came to live here a long time ago.

I �m not sure - but I �ve never heard it.
We usually say I �ve lived since 1998. or I moved here a long time ago, or I �ve lived here for a long time.
