  1. PresentPerfectContinuous Form: have/has been + gerund (V+ing) e.g.We’vebeenplayingtennisfortwohours. Ithasn’tbeenraining. Havetheybeendoingtheirhomework?

  4. PresentPerfect simple orcontinous? 1. Look at these two sentences. • I’ve read that book you lent me. I finished it yesterday. • I’ve been reading that book you lent me. I’ve got another 50 pages to read. Thepresent perfect simple (I’ve read) gives the idea of completion while the present perfect continuous (I’ve been reading) suggests that something is unfinished.

  5. 2. Look at these two sentences. • She’s been writing emails for 3 hours. • She’s written 10 messages. Thepresent perfect continuous (has been writing) talks about how long something has been happening. The present perfect simple (has written) talks about how much/how many have been completed.

  6. 3. Look at these two sentences. • I’ve worked here for thirty years. • I usually work in London but I’ve been working in Birmingham for the last 3 weeks. We can use the present perfect simple to talk about how long when we view something as permanent. But the present perfect continuous is often used to show that something is temporary.
