 Grammar
Unit 1

Present perfect continous:

Have/has+been+ing verb
They have been playing all day long. Now they are tired
Mary haven’t been doing well at school last month and the results are poor
The Present Perfect Continuous is used to talk about an action in progress that
was taking place until the present moment. The action may not be finish at that
time. This action may still be continuing or may have just finished.

Past perfect continous:

Had+been+ ing
They had been playing all day long before they got tired and went home.
Mary hadn’t been doing well at school last month, so she failed her final test
In such sentences, Past Perfect Continuous tells us ‘how long the action had
continued’ or emphasizes ‘the duration of the action’. Namely, Past Perfect
Continuous tells us that an event happened and continued for a certain
period of time in the past, not in the present.
