III — We use Present Perfect Continuous when we talk about an action (quite a long action) which began in the past and has continued up until now.

For example: 

  • 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?

 

Have

           Been   + V — ing

Has

 

I, you, we, they   —   Have   been + V — ing

He, she, it   —   Has   been   + V — ing

 

— We also use the Present Perfect Continuous to ask or say how long smth. Has been happening. This time the action or situation began in the past and is still happening or has just stopped.

For example: It is raining now, it began to rain two hours ago and it is still raining.

                       It has been raining for two hours.

We use the P.P.C especially with the words: how long, for, since, for a long time, already, for an hour, since when? …

For example: The boy has been writing on the blackboard for a long time.

                        Talgat has been writing a letter since 2 o’clock.

                        How long have you been learning English language?
