PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE AND PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS
Puntúa 25,00
REVIEW
sobre 25,00 We use both of these tenses for nished and un nished actions.
The present perfect simple can be used (often with 'since' and 'for') to talk about un nished actions that started in the
past and are still true in the present. It's often used with stative verbs:
I've known John for three years.
The present perfect continuous can also be used (often with 'since' and 'for') to talk about un nished actions that started
in the past and are still true in the present. (Of course, we don't use the present perfect continuous with stative verbs):
They've been waiting for hours! (This emphasises the length of time).
They've waited for hours. (This doesn't emphasise the length of time).
2: On the other hand, the present perfect simple is often used when we're talking about how much or how many. This isn't
possible with the present perfect continuous:
She's drunk three cups of coffee this morning.
She's drunk at least a litre of coffee today. (NOT: she's been drinking three cups of coffee this morning).
3: The present perfect continuous often focuses on the action itself, while the present perfect simple focuses on the fact
that the action is completed:
I've been reading the book you recommended. (I'm enjoying it, but I'm not nished).
I've read the book you recommended. (I've nished it, so we can talk about it).
Let's see the following video to remember some more characteristics of these two tenses:

PAST PERFECT SIMPLE AND PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS REVIEW
Puntúa 25,00
We use the Past Perfect to indicate that a completed action happened earlier than something else.
sobre 25,00 By the time I was 15, my father had taught me how to drive a car.
When you arrived, I had already nished my meal.
We cannot use the Past Perfect in the sentence above because the action was not completed. (In other words, she did not
stop browsing the Internet immediately after looking out of the window)
The Past Perfect Continuous often creates a kind of background for the rest of the sentence.
To sum it up in one sentence: the Past Perfect emphasizes completion (or the result of a completed action) while the Past
Perfect Continuous emphasizes the duration or activity of an action.
One nal example:
had lost (lose) track of time because she had been thinking (think) about the most important
Things had not been (not be) the same between Julie and her ance, David, since he accepted a job in Paris.
They had known (know) each other for almost ve years, and in that time, they had never argued much. Lately,
though, their relationship had become (become) stormy. They seemed to be nding fault with each other and
disagreeing about everything. For the rst time, she was starting to wonder if she was ready for marriage. And with the
wedding only twenty days away, she needed to make up her mind soon.

Everything in Julie's life had been going (go) well until her world fell apart just a month before. A large
company had offered (offer) David an important position that would require him to move to France. As his
wife, Julie would have to go, too. Why hadn't he discussed his decision with her?
Although Julie had always wanted (always want) to live abroad she felt very confused. Was she ready to move
halfway across the world, leaving behind her friends and family and the only home she had ever known? If the answer was
no, was she ready to say goodbye to the only man she had ever loved (ever love)?
