I often hear these mistakes made by German speakers who are learning English.
They say: In the last time I work a lot.
There are a couple of things wrong with this.
Firstly, we don’t say ‘in the last time’. Instead say recently or lately.
Secondly, the tense in the sentence is wrong. To describe an action that has been happening repeatedly over a period of time in the past and up to now (and may continue into the future) we need to use the present perfect continuous: have/has + been + verb+_ing.
So the correct sentence is:
Recently / lately I have been working a lot.
Have fun learning English!
