Drag the correct verbs to complete this spooky conversation between two ghosts.

"I have haunted this gloomy castle since 1492," the first ghost complained. "It's so boring now. The previous ghost moved out exactly five centuries ago to find a nice apartment."

"I have haunted this gloomy castle since 1492," the first ghost complained.

We use the Present Perfect (have haunted) with "since" for an action that started in the past and continues into the present. (Note: Romance speakers often want to use the present tense here, but English requires the Present Perfect!)

"The previous ghost moved out exactly five centuries ago to find a nice apartment."

The word "ago" ALWAYS triggers the Past Simple (moved) because it refers to a finished moment in the past.
