3. WHEN TO USE PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS?

4. ACTIONS THAT STARTED IN THE PAST and Continue Now We use the Present Perfect Continuous to talk about actions that began at some point in the past and are still ongoing in the present. Examples: “She has been dancing for two hours.” “He has been sleeping all day.”

5. EMPHASIZING THE DURATION It helps us emphasize how long an action has been happening or how much time has passed since the action started. Examples: “She has been studying all day long.” “They have been playing football all afternoon.” “He has been working hard since morning.”

6. HOW TO FORM PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS?

7. POSITIVE FORM Start with the subject, add " have been " (for I, you, we, they) or " has been " (for he, she, it), and then add the base form of the verb with " ing ." Examples: “I have been reading a book.” “She has been playing the piano.”

8. NEGATIVE FORM Use " not " after "have been" or "has been" to form negative sentences, and add the base form of the verb with " ing ." Examples: “He hasn't been watching TV.” “They haven't been studying all day.” “We haven’t been eating anything since morning.”

9. QUESTION FORM Begin with " have " or " has ," add the subject, then " been ," and finally, add the base form of the verb with " ing ." Examples: “Has he been painting a picture?” “Have you been practicing your guitar?” “Has she been sleeping all day?
