2. DEFINITION
• The present perfect continuous tense shows that something started in the past
shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time.

3. THE USE
• 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.
Example : 1. They have been talking for the last hour.
2. She has been working at that company for three years.
3. He has been living in New York since 1993.
• You can also use the present perfect continuous WITHOUT a duration such as "for
two weeks." Without the duration, the tense has a more general meaning of "lately." We
often use the words "lately" or "recently" to emphasize this meaning.
Example : 1. Recently, I have been feeling really tired.
2. She has been watching too much television lately.

4. THE PATTERN
• Positive : S + Has/Have + Been + V-ing
• Negative : S + Has/Have + Not + Been + V-ing
• Introgative : Has/Have + S + Been + V-ing
