Use Present Perfect or Present Perfect Progressive:

1) The girls (dance) since 3 p.m.

2) They (travel) for a month already.

3) Sue (know) Sally all her life.

4) Alice always (want) to visit Finland.

5) I (read) this book for two hours already.

Correct forms:

• 1) The girls have been dancing since 3 p.m.
• 2) They have been travelling for a month already.
• 3) Sue has known Sally all her life.
• 4) Alice has always wanted to visit Finland.
• 5) I have been reading this book for two hours already.

We use Present Perfect Progressive when the action has been continuing for some time. But with state verbs like know and want, we usually use Present Perfect.
