Each time expression uses different tenses depending on whether the action occurs in the present, past or future. However, the general rule
is that time expressions take the simple form of a given tense. In in other words, after, before, while and when are followed by either the
present simple for present and future situations, or the past simple for past events. The following guide provides an explanation past,
present and future use indicating tenses required for both the time clause and the main clause.

So, we use them with different purposes. Both tenses are used to express that an action began in the past and is still going on or has just
finished. In many cases, both forms are correct, but there is often a difference in meaning: We use the Present Perfect Simple mainly to
express that an action is completed or to emphasise the result. We use the Present Perfect Continuous to emphasise the duration or
continuous course of an action.Let's see!
