    Tomas! This is the first time I know that! So, those sentences are correct? I was busy= I'm busy lately= I've been busy I have been reading= I was reading= I'm reading lately.

    @LAMIA yes, but Present tense + lately : this is incorrect I am busy lately I'm reading lately These should always be have been

    So without adding Lately, I've been busy= I was busy= I'm busy The listener will understand that I'm talking about what am in lately? Am I right?

    @LAMIA no... if you want the sentence to he about "lately", you need to use "have been."
