    @Riccardo.Gai this is excellent, your vocabulary is spot on, well done!

    Just a grammar point:

    B: I’m John, pleased to meet you Riccardo. ⚠️I didn’t see you before, is IT your first day of job?

    A: No, ⚠️i’m working at the company since 2019, but i live in Florence so i work remotely from there.

    In both cases, we have to use the present perfect = have + past participle

    This is because we need to show that we are talking about something that started in the past, but continues into the present>

    B: I’m John, pleased to meet you Riccardo. I haven’t seen you before, is IT your first day of job?

    A: No, I’ve worked at the company since 2019, but i live in Florence so i work remotely from there.

    ps. 💡 remember to always put “I” with a capital letter: I, I’m, I’ve etc 👍
