We use the Present Perfect Continuous Tense for actions that started in the past. These actions are still continuing now. It is also used for repeated actions. Sometimes, the action has recently stopped. But its effect can still be seen in the present.

Present Perfect Continuous Tense is used to describe actions. Which were started in the past and are still continuing in the present.

It mainly focuses on the activity duration. Often uses words like "Since/for" in sentences.

For example:

  1. Sita has been cooking dinner for two hours.
  2. She has been working on the article since this morning.

Structure of present perfect tense is: Subject + Has/Have + Past Participle.

  • Has: for singular subjects.

  • He will have driven 10 miles by 2 PM.
  • Sharon will have slept for three hours by the time we reach the beach.
