Conclusion

In conclusion, as a student, working on this assignment has not only deepened my understanding
of the present perfect continuous tense but has also highlighted the importance of effective
communication in expressing ongoing actions and their durations. Through this exercise, I've come
to appreciate how this tense allows us to convey not just the action itself, but the continuous and
often evolving nature of those actions.
