A Form
The present perfect continuous is formed by the present perfect of be (have been) and the –ing form of the verb.
I/you/we/they have been working/have not (haven’t) been working.
He/she/it has been working/has not (hasn’t) been working.
Have I/you/we/they been working? (Yes, I/you/we/they have. /No, I/you/we/they haven’t.)
Has he/she/it been working? (Yes, he/she/it has. /No he/she/it hasn’t.)
B Unfinished activities
The present perfect continuous is used with for, since, and How long …? And other expressions of duration (e.g., all day), to talk about activities the started happening in the past and are still happening now. The activity may have been going on continuously or repeated several times:
They have been producing cars here for 10 years.
(They started producing cars 10 years ago. They are still producing cars.)
I have been trying to ring them all day.
(I started trying to ring them this morning. I am still trying to ring them.)
However, we normally use the present perfect simple with stative verbs, or about situations we consider permanent (see Unit 3):
Ken has been in London since 9 o’clock this morning. (Not: has been being…)
I have lived in London all my life. (Not: have been living …)
We use the present perfect simple if we are talking about a completed action, particularly if we give details of how much or how many. We use the present perfect continuous when something is still going on:
I’ve written a report for Janet. (It is finished.)
I’ve been writing a report for Janet. (I am still writing it.)
