PRESENT PERFECT PROGRESSIVE
• The present perfect progressive expresses an action that recently
stopped or is still going on. It puts emphasis on the duration or course
of the action.
• We use this tense to express a continuity sense of a past action until
today, or which stopped recently.
• Focus on the process and on the result of a long action
• El presente perfecto continuo, muchas veces tiene la equivalencia a
la traducción “llevar + gerundio” en español, pero el uso de esta
forma es más frecuente en inglés.
USES
• 1. We use the Present Perfect Progressive for actions in the past
which have a connection to the present and for actions beginning in
the past and still continuing. The focus is on the action.
• She has been waiting for you all day
• They have been travelling since last October
• I've been working on this report since eight o'clock this morning

• 2. We use the Present Perfect Progressive for recently completed


actions. The focus is on the action.
• She has been cooking since last night
• It's been raining .

"present perfect".
