"move" becomes past tense -> moved

After that, I moved to Kumamoto city to go to university. After that, I moved to Kumamoto city to go to university.

In American English it's 'college' instead of university.

I had been studying there for six years.


I had been studyingstudied there for six years. I studied there for six years.

I had been studyingstudied there for six years. I studied there for six years.

I had been studyingstudied there for six years. I had studied there for six years.

You're using *past perfect* tense here but nothing happens after the six years. When you use past perfect, the next thing needs to happen in the past: I had been studying there for six years [<then> I moved to a new city]. You moved to a new city, but the time you moved to the new city was in the past.

I had been studyingstudied there for six years. I studied there for six years.

Then, I've been in this city for 15 years.


Then, I've been in this city for 15 years. Then, I've been in this city for 15 years.

"Then, I've lived in this city for 15 years." is also OK!

TSince then, I've been living in thise city for another 15 years. Since then, I've been living in the city for another 15 years.

TSince then, I've been in this city for 15 years. Since then, I've been in this city for 15 years.

This sentence started in the past and goes into the future so you need to write it in the *past continuous* tense.

Then,Now I've been living in this city for 15 years. Now I've been living in this city for 15 years.

or, even better in the US: I've been living in this city now for 15 years.
