Present Perfect Continuous

Teacher.lugott@gmail.com
We use the Present Perfect Continuous to show that
something started in the past and has continued up
until now.

"For five minutes," "for two weeks," and "since

Tuesday" are all durations which can be used with
the Present Perfect Continuous.

She has been working at that company for three years

“For three years”, gives us the notion of her work length.

Present Perfect Continuous focus on the duration of the action.

FOR and SINCE
We often use for and since with perfect tenses:

•We use for to talk about a period of time: three

hours, two months, one decade.

•We use since to talk about a starting point in past

time: 9 o'clock, 1st January, Monday.
