Present Perfect Continuous

Present Perfect Uses

Form: has/have + past participle

We use the Present Perfect to say that an action happened at an unspecified time before now.

Examples:

I think I have met him once before.

Have you read that book yet?

Have you read that book yet?

Present Perfect Uses

What exactly is unspecified in this context?

• Experiences: I have been to France Three Times
• Changes over time: You have grown since the last time I saw you.
• Accomplishments: Our son has learned how to read.
• An uncompleted action you are expecting: The rain hasn't stopped yet.
• Multiple actions at different times: The army has attacked that city five times.

Present Perfect Uses

We can also use the Present Perfect to say that something has started in the past and has continued up untill now. 

Examples:

I have had a cold for two weeks.

Mary has loved chocolate since she was a little girl.

Present Perfect Continuous Uses

Form: has/have + been + past participle

We use the Present Perfect Continuous to show that something started in the past and has continued up untill now. It emphasizes duration, or the amount of time that an actoin has been taking place.

Examples:

They have been talking for the last hour.

You have not been waiting here for two hours.

Present Perfect Continuous Uses

We can also use the Present Perfect Continuous without a duration. In that case it has a more general meaning of lately. Often' recently' or 'lately' are added to emphasize this.

Examples:

Recently, I have been feeling really tired.

What have you been doing?
