Slide 15 - Tekstslide

What does the verb show in this sentence?

Slide 16 - Tekstslide

Present perfect continuous
The present perfect continuous has a similar meaning to the present perfect. However, we use the continuous when we want to emphasise the process and the duration of an action: I have been studying in this school for five months.

So, if an action is very short, we don’t use the continuous form. (NOT: I’ve been breaking the window.)

We also use the continuous to emphasise that an action finished very recently or is incomplete: I’ve been washing the dishes … and my hands are wet.


Slide 17 - Tekstslide

Present perfect continuous
How do we form it?
We use has/have been + the present participle (root + ing).

Examples
:
I have been reading Harry Potter. 
I have not been feeling well lately.
She has been living in the Netherlands since 2002.
