Tenses
The document discusses different verb tenses in English categorized by time frame and aspect. There are 12 possible verb tenses formed from combining the present, past, and future time frames with the simple, continuous, perfect, and perfect continuous aspects. The tenses are used to express actions, events, or situations that occur in the present, past, or future time periods. Examples of how to form affirmative, negative, and interrogative sentences for each tense are also provided.
Present perfect continuous
This document discusses the present perfect continuous tense. It is formed with "has/have been" plus the present participle. It is used to show an action that began in the past and continues in the present for a duration or recently/lately. Examples are given to illustrate using it for durations like "for five minutes" or "since Tuesday" as well as for recent, ongoing actions without a specific duration. The document concludes by noting that non-continuous verbs and some meanings of mixed verbs cannot be used in the continuous tenses and require the present perfect instead.

However, in 2023, they played one another twice, with France endearing both matches 4-0 and 2-1 individually. Against Poland and Austria, the Netherlands also have a stout record, winning just under half the matches. They faced Austria at Euro 2020, engaging 2-0, and they haven't lost to Poland since 1979.
The lettering is on the wall for Holland to qualify for the knockouts, but nothing is failsafe. The Netherlands kickstart their Euros campaign against Poland on Sunday, June 16th. In Hamburg, they will have to go up against one of the best strikers in the world, Robert Lewandowski.

Ronald Koeman is widely considered one of the more successful Dutch managers in Premier League history, considering the nation has a reputation for struggling to replicate their talents in England.

Netherlands vs Austria: Ronald Koeman's Tactical Approach For UEFA Euro 2024
As well as being the highest-scoring defender in history, Koeman is a man with immense tactical knowledge. He returned to manage Holland at the start of 2023 after it was announced Louis van Gaal would retire. His life back in the dugout with the team wasn't easy, as he lost his first match 4-0 to France after going 3-0 down within 21 minutes.
However, he eventually helped them qualify for Euro Cup Germany. The 61-year-old likes to organize his team with a defensive mindset. Some might call it pragmatic as he defends with minimal space between the lines, but that's often needed for international football.

Present perfect continuous
- 2. has/have + been + present participle Examples: You have been waiting here for two hours. Have you been waiting here for two hours? You have not been waiting here for two hours.
- 3. We use the Present Perfect Continuous to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. "For five now minutes," "for two weeks," and "since minutes weeks Tuesday" are all durations which can be Tuesday used with the Present Perfect Continuous.
- 4. • They have been talking for the last hour. • She has been working at that company for three years. • What have you been doing for the last 30 minutes? • James has been teaching at the university since June. • We have been waiting here for over two hours! • Why has Nancy not been taking her medicine for the last three days?
- 5. You can also use the Present Perfect Continuous for continuous or repeated actions that have been happening very recently. Without the duration, the tense has a more general meaning of "lately." We often use the words "lately" or "recently" to lately recently emphasize this meaning.
- 6. Examples: • Recently, I have been feeling really tired. • She has been watching too much TV lately. • Have you been exercising lately? • What have you been doing? • Lisa has not been practicing her English. • Mary has been feeling a little depressed.
- 7. Important Remember! … the Present Perfect Continuous has the meaning of "lately" or "recently." If you use the Present Perfect Continuous in a question such as "Have you been feeling alright?", it can alright?" suggest that the person looks sick or unhealthy. A question such as "Have you been smoking?" can suggest that you smell the smoke on the person. Using this tense in a question suggests you can see, smell, hear or feel the results of the action. It is possible to insult someone by using this tense incorrectly!
- 8. It is important to remember that Non-Continuous Verbs cannot be used in any continuous tenses. Instead of using Present Perfect Continuous with these verbs, you must use Present Perfect. Perfect Examples: • Sam has been having his car for two years. Not Correct • Sam has had his car for two years. Correct
- 10. a) Mike collects baseball cards. He started in 1985. Mike ____________ baseball cards since 1985. has been collecting b) Mr. & Mrs. Smith make wine. They started in June. Mr. & Mrs. Smith __________wine since June. have been making c) Ivan rides horses. He started when he was six. Ivan ____________ horses since he was six. has been riding d) Ana plays tennis.
