continuously up to the point of another action in the past. This tense is related to
the present perfect progressive; however, in the past perfect progressive, the
duration does not continue until now because it stops before something else in the
past. Examples:
 Andy had been chatting online before he went to bed.
 Her skin was sunburned because she had been lying on the beach all day.
o The present perfect progressive tense (or present perfect continuous tense, as it's
also known) shows action that has been continuously happening up to the present
moment. We use this verb tense to show that something started in the past and has
continued up until now; or that an action has been happening over time until now.
Simply put, the present perfect progressive has the meaning of lately or recently.
The present perfect progressive tense is usually combined with a length of time
phrase (such as, ‘for few seconds/five minutes’, ‘for all day/morning/weeks’, and
‘since Monday/last month,’ etc.) to indicate action that started in the past and
continues to the present. Examples:
 Andy has not been spending time with his family since he started a part
time course.
 Lola hasn’t been using her favorite car recently.
o The Future perfect progressive tense is a verb tense which is used to show that an
action will be in progress continuously up to the point of another action in the
future. Normally, words like before, when, or for years, etc. are often used with
future perfect progressive. The future perfect progressive primarily indicates the
duration an action will be continuously in progress before something or another
action or a specific time in the future. This means the same as past perfect
progressive; the only difference is that it happens in the future, not the past. The
structure, will have + been + present participle of main verb is used to construct
this tense. Examples:
 By the time Geoffrey graduates, he will have been studying for 7 years.
 When the meat is cooked, it will have been cooking for 12 minutes.
