At the end of the lesson you will be able to explain the difference between the p.p.c. and the p.p.s in your own words

At the end of the lesson you will be able to distinguish both times + use them in ex.

At the end of the lesson you will be able to use phrasal verbs in speaking assignments.

Create a negative sentence:

Create a question:

When do we use the present perfect continuous?

1. I have been travelling since October
2. We've been working  out so we're a bit sweaty

1. Unfinished actions = started in the past and is still continuing
2. A long action in the past with a consequence

Compare

I have lived here since 2016

VS

I have been living here for five years

Present perfect simple

have/has + past participle (voltooid deelwoord) 

What's the same?
I have lived here since 2016
VS I have been living here for five years

1. Finished action
2. Past action with a result
3. Action that started in the past + still going
4. Past action with a future plan

What's different?
1) I have lived here since 2016
VS 2) I've been living here for five years

1. 1 is postive, 2 is negative
2. In 1 action is important, in 2 time
3. 1 is planning on staying, 2 is not
4. There is no difference. English is confusing

Signal words continuous:

• lately

• Etc.

simple:

Watch out! Signal words are helpful but not gospel
