    PRESENT PERFECT PROGRESSIVE

    USE:
    To talk about a continuous or repeated action which began in the past and continues up to the present, or which finished very
    recently and still has an effect. We do not normally use the Present Perfect Progressive with stative verbs (TO HAVE RED HAIR,
    TO BE HAPPY/ILL/TIRED, TO KNOW THE ANSWER, etc.).

    EXAMPLES:
    "Betty and Joe have been working all night: they're exhausted!"
    "Ted, I've been telling you to make your bed for two hours!"

    FORM:
    AFFIRMATIVE

    [SUBJECT + HAVE/HAS + BEEN + VERB+ing ]

    EXAMPLES:
    "I've been sitting here for an hour."
    "She's been hiding in the garage."

    NEGATIVE

    [SUBJECT + HAS/HAVE + NOT + BEEN + VERB+ing...]
