The present perfect continuous is used for actions that have begun in the past but continues in the present, is given a specific time even if the activity is finished.

This is one of the best explanations regarding Present and Past Perfect tenses. It is already INSTILLED in my mind. I think the ONE OF THE DISTINCTIONS here is using FOR and SINCE phrases in Present Perfect Tense while FOR phrase only in Past Perfect. Another distinction is if TIME EXPRESSIONS used in the sentence like yesterday, last week, etc. is NOT SPECIFIED and one can use HAD + BEEN + VERB+ING. Otherwise, if yesterday or so is used then WAS/WERE + VERB+ING is utilized. Aside from the distinction that in Present Perfect Tense the action started in the past and is still continuing at the present while in Past Perfect Tense it started in the past and was continuing for some time but ENDED in the past
You blown me away with your technique, at last I've found the trigger that I needed to understand difference present perfect continuous and past perfect continuous.YOU'RE THE I 'VE SEEN SO FAR. MANY THANKS
Do you want a tissue to blow your nose? Finally I've found the trigger that I needed to differentiate between the Present perfect continuous and Past perfect continuous. APPRECIATE YOUR COMMENT :)
After a long time I hv seen a teacher who is sooo perfect in teaching.....I really admire the way u teach....overall u are perfect as a teacher....I really like watching your classes👍
As you said in present perfect vs past simple chapter: " I have lived in London for seven years" which means "I am still living in London from past to present" Now my query is "what is the difference between "I have lived in London for 7 years" and "I have been living in London for 7 years"??
Jay Ganesh the meaning doesn’t change, you are just emphasizing differents things. When u use present perfect continuous, you emphasize the progress of the action.
Your first query shows that you lived in London for seven years long but now it has no longer..okay!! And the second sentence defines that you are presently living there for seven years long, it is going continue ...!!
I have been watching your vedio from tow weeks" thanks for your teaching day by day I learan many things from you god will give you reword in this word in other word. thanks thanks thanks .
Hi, thank you for the lovely lesson. I want to know that can we use "I have been or I had been" during our induction for a job to tell our past experience? For example - I had been working at ABC for 4 years then I left and joined XYZ where I have been working for 3 years. Does this make sense?
In a colloquial/daily speech or in a lazy american english , of course, we can speek "I was angry. I waited two hours.", but in essays or novel books, we should use more preciese sentences and it means we must use precise forms.
The phrasing is correct in formal and informal speech and writing. There's nothing lazy about it, nor is it particularly American. It's simply correct. And while I appreciate your attempts at disparagement, they'd be more convincing if you were to use correct grammar, wording and capitalization.
as Madam said they was continuity in the actiin in the past.. you worked means you worked only 1 day ..continuity is not shown. i had been working means. you were working regularly..continuously
Hello Arif, I know " worked" means the action start and finished in the past, but "I Have worked" is present perfect tense, I could say "I have worked here for 5 years" It means that I still work here, or not?
+alessandro matarazzo (alexmat) that is wrong . why??? because "i have worked at abc for 5 years?" 5 years is the past so u are talking about the past yet u use the word have ...have is use for present. it would be correct you u say" i had worked at abc for 5 years" meaning you worked there for 5 years and sometime in the past u quitted ur job or they fired u (lol)
@@jasminfasil3006 No, actually for is used to express period, for how long something has continued. If you observe the examples in the video, it is used in both forms present and past, because for is a preposition and it has nothing to do with tenses.
Because you need to specify that is the past if you use the past simple ( yesterday) . if you said for 5 years, it is meant that the action started in the past and still continues or has recently finished.
Yes, you can say so. "It had been raining" means that the rain started in the past, kept on raining in the past, stopped in the past and is no longer continuing.
Really i understand your way of teaching.. and what is difference between present perfect contin... and past perfect contin... it was good example. Keep taking a lesson like this....
I just can’t thank you enough!!! Wow. You made it all clear to me after i’d watched so many vids trying to get it. This one was so helpful. Keep going with the great work ❤️
Thanks mem, you always made wonderful and helpful structure for us, please keep us away like these types of douts, And thanks again the team Let's talk,

Hi Ma'am. Your teaching methods r superb. These helps me a lot n make clear my doubts. Thank you so much Archana ma'am.
i've been following your lesson since last year.
If you use the word since you have to mention the time like i am watching your channel since 2019.
Dear ma'am,
Thank you for your informative lecture and your time,
I haven't seen a tutor like you in my life.
You’re teaching us so simple way to learn English thanks a lots for that.
I’m a ur new student 👨🎓 from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰
Nice to meet you Teacher Rachna! So clearly. I really understood this concept. Thank you so much.
Nice and clear explanation. Thank you!
Good teaching no doubt, and sweet voice can easealy understand. God bless you teacher .
she was amazing. I had been struggling a lot in this particular part. Now I understood clearly
*Now i understand clearly*. Because you used "Now" which indicates the "Present", the verb "To Understand" has to be in the present form.
thank you for the correction :-)
I have been watching your vedio from tow weeks"
thanks for your teaching day by day I learan many things from you god will give you reword in this word in other word. thanks thanks thanks .

I wish you many successes in your professional life and that you continue with this same enthusiasm
Hi, thank you for the lovely lesson.
I want to know that can we use "I have been or I had been" during our induction for a job to tell our past experience?
For example -
I had been working at ABC for 4 years then I left and joined XYZ where I have been working for 3 years.
Does this make sense?
Knowledge Entertainment Adda I think yes, because that make sense for me.
no the have been doesnt make sense if u wanna write a past sentence cuse have is a present word.
I've been researching these two tenses and now i understand perfectely; the way of explaination is very good and clearly thank you.
Lily Lana what about I have been (credited) or is it (crediting)?
@@dwanehughes8371 i don't catch that but if you trying to correct me thank you very much ;wholl your class are really helpful and great .
this is a very good and useful learning application.please like it
she has the excellent way of teaching.
clear and easy to understand.
good lession as well as you are beauty
I have been watching your video for last 8 minutes and I find it really great 👍🏻
Nice madam. I understood very well
I have been confusing on both of these for 4 months. Now i got it. Thank you!
"I was angry. I waited two hours." -- This is perfectly correct.

You're talking about the past.
""I was angry. I waited two hours," is perfect English.
Cathy Douglas no it is wrong
Brilliant explanation I was confused with these ; but today I got them rightly thank you so much teacher.
awesome. your expression and presentation is so good. i really like you. thank you very much Let's Talk.
thank u
Jags D
you are best teacher ever.. even I am a teacher.. your lessons help me A lot
Your acent is so weird but I like the way you teach
ONE OF THE BEST TEACHERS . THANKS A LOT
Could I say: I have worked at ABC for 5 years? which is the difference between the "present perfect tense" and the "present perfect continuos" tense?
as Madam said they was continuity in the actiin in the past.. you worked means you worked only 1 day ..continuity is not shown.
i had been working means. you were working regularly..continuously
Hello Arif, I know " worked" means the action start and finished in the past, but "I Have worked" is present perfect tense, I could say "I have worked here for 5 years" It means that I still work here, or not?
+alessandro matarazzo (alexmat) that is wrong . why??? because "i have worked at abc for 5 years?" 5 years is the past so u are talking about the past yet u use the word have ...have is use for present. it would be correct you u say" i had worked at abc for 5 years" meaning you worked there for 5 years and sometime in the past u quitted ur job or they fired u (lol)
you are right!
jonh 866 but most people used ' i have worked ' make me confused still working or not?
Great Lesson..... Thank for your time and sharing your knowledge with us. It was really helpful.
I worked at ABC company for 5 years why this incorrect this action happened in the past and continue there then finished
osaid ali This is past tense you must not use (for) because it is the keyword for present and past perfect continuous.
@@jasminfasil3006

Thanks you a lot .You are excellent teacher of English language 🎉
Can we also say, "The road is wet, because it had been raining for many hours." ?
No
Yes, because road is still wet
Yes, you can say so.
"It had been raining" means that the rain started in the past, kept on raining in the past, stopped in the past and is no longer continuing.
