Conclusions:
- The present perfect continuous ALWAYS means that something started in the past and is continuing now. Its duration matters
- The present perfect simple means SOMS that something started in the past and is continuing now: in the case of for + duration and since + time.
- In all other cases, the present perfect simple means that something happened once in the past, it also ended, but you have no further information. What is important is that it happened, not how long it took.
Slide 12 - Slide
Conclusies:
- De present perfect continuous betekent ALTIJD dat iets in het verleden is begonnen en nu nog doorloopt. De duur ervan is van belang.
- De present perfect simple betekent SOMS dat iets in het verleden is begonnen en nu nog doorloopt: bij for + tijdsduur en since + tijdstip.
- In alle andere gevallen betekent de present perfect simple dat iets ooit een keer is gebeurd in het verleden, het is ook afgelopen, maar je hebt verder geen informatie. Het is belangrijk dat het gebeurd is, niet hoe lang het duurde.
Slide 13 - Slide
Tips:
- If you want to indicate that something started in the past and is still going on, you use the present perfect continuous, unless you're dealing with a state verb: a verb that you can't be doing because it describes a situation.
- If you want to indicate that something was completed in the past, but you do NOT know when (or it's not important) you use the present perfect simple.
Slide 14 - Slide
Tips:
- Als je wil aangeven dat iets in het verleden begonnen is en nog steeds doorgaat, gebruik je de present perfect continuous, behalve als je te maken hebt met een state verb: een werkwoord dat je niet aan het doen kunt zijn omdat het een situatie beschrijft.
- Als je wil aangeven dat iets in het verleden afgerond is, maar je weet NIET wanneer (of het is niet belangrijk) dan gebruik je de present perfect simple.
