Present Perfect Continuous

Время довольно сложное в образовании, ибо длинное, но немного упражнений – и

ты запомнишь его. Форма present perfect continuous (иногда его называют present
perfect progressive) сочетает в себе признаки времен группы Perfect
(вспомогательные глаголы have/has + глагол BE в третьей форме) и времен группы
Сontinuous (смысловой глагол с окончанием -ING), что ты уже знаешь.

языке.

It's not a very common tense, and often it's not taught in classes, but we do use it
sometimes and it's very good to know how to make it, and to recognise it when other
people use it.

Using present perfect continuous:

1: To say how long for unfinished actions which started in the past and continue to the
present. We often use this with 'for' and 'since'.
•I've been living in London for two years.
•She's been working here since 2004.
•We've been waiting for the bus for hours.
//This use is very similar to how we use the present perfect simple, and often it's possible to use either
tense.

2: For temporary habits or situations. The action started in the past and continues to the
present in the same way as with use number 1, but we don't answer the questions about
'how long' so clearly. Instead, we use a word like 'recently' (недавно).
•I've been going to the gym a lot recently.
•They've been living with his mother while they look for a house.
•I've been reading a lot recently.
3: Actions which have recently stopped (though the whole action can be unfinished) and
have a result, which we can often see, hear, or feel, in the present. (то есть мы можем
услышать, увидеть результат какого-то действия) We don't use a time word here.
•I'm so tired, I've been studying.
•I've been running, so I'm really hot.
•It's been raining so the pavement is wet.
The present perfect simple has a very similar use, which focuses on the result of the
action, whereas the present perfect continuous focuses on the action itself.
