Hello!!! I have another question: A: What have you been doing / done lately? B: Not much. I've worked/ been worked with my father while I finish school. I am trying to get my head around the present perfect progressive and present perfect, but I am still not sure when to use it. I hope your reply at this question as soon as possible. Thank you so much.
Hi again Helen, you can use either one depending on your focus. If you want to focus on the past to the present and not the future, use the present perfect. A: What have you been up to lately? B: Not much. I've completed a few projects with my father. If you want to focus on an action that started in the past, continues to the present, and also will continue in the future, use the present perfect progressive. This is the more natural tense for the situation you used as an example. A: What have you been doing lately? B: Not much. I've been working with my father while finishing up school. Hope that helps!
First of all, don't forget that "have" is usually a stative (non-action) verb, so it usually won't have an -ing (progressive) form. The correct sentence for have as possession would only be "I have had" and never "I have been having" (a camera for nine years). "Have" is sometimes active, though, when it means "eating." So in the present perfect progressive tense, you could say "I have been having dinner at 8 pm for the past three months." Hope that helps!
Thank you! Yes, we have a new video that compares the past perfect and past perfect progressive (continuous) tenses: ruclips.net/video/YdqwyzJ3E8Y/видео.htmlsi=zOS_HBpN8DLpaLiV
Great question! The meanings are very similar. The only difference is the focus on the future. In the first sentence (I have lived in London for five years), the focus is on the past to the present, and the future meaning is unclear. This sentence could mean that the speaker is moving tomorrow OR that the speaker will continue living there-we don't know and both are possible. In that sentence, the future meaning isn't important. With the second sentence (I have been living in London for five years), the focus is on the past to the present AND on the future. The future meaning is clear (and important) because this sentence means the speaker will definitely continue living in London. So while both these sentences CAN mean the same thing, the future meaning is only certain with the present perfect progressive. Hope that helps!
If you use "before moving," it means you have already moved, so you would need the past perfect progressive: My parents and I had been living in California for 3 years before moving. If you want to use the present perfect progressive, you can say something like this: My parents and I have been living in California for 3 years, but we are going to move soon.
@@elliican I say " My mom has been cooking in the kitchen for an hour ? Or " my mom has been cooking in the kitchen ". Should I add "for an four" the time is not obligatory ? What is the difference between the two sentences??
We use the present perfect progressive when we want to show an action started in the past, continues to the present, and will continue into the future. We have a great new video that explains it thoroughly: ruclips.net/video/yjoUAsOn7-o/видео.htmlsi=BwV-MzoabPFkqP7W
It's exactly the same, yes! Generally speaking, the term "progressive" is more common in North American English and "continuous" is more common in the British English, but both terms are used in many places. Here's a blog post for more info: ellii.com/blog/progressive-vs-continuous-and-other-synonymous-grammatical-terms
Great question! We're currently making a video called Present Perfect Vs. Present Perfect Progressive that will answer your question thoroughly. It will be uploaded to the site in about two weeks. You'll find it in this playlist if you miss it on your feed: ruclips.net/p/PL0MvnNQjMzmYF0vNbBs_3p0rO13qhgv_N
Yes, they are both correct and natural. The progressive (-ing) form emphasizes that you will continue working for the company. The second example doesn't specify if you'll continue working there-the focus is only on the past to the present.
it's clear but i didn't understand what is the difference between the present perfect and the present perfect progressive . they both used for actions that started in the past and continue in the present how can i know when i must use one of them ? teacher can you please explain this for me
In most cases you can just use the present perfect since both tenses focus on the past to the present. Use the present perfect progressive when you want to emphasize that the action will continue into the future. If the future time is not important info (most cases), or if the action will end now or really soon, use the present perfect.
"Has been" can be used in both the present perfect and present perfect progressive tenses. In the present perfect tense, it's the third person singular present perfect form of the verb "to be." E.g., He has been a professor for five years. In the present perfect progressive tense, it's the third person singular form for any verb when you add -ing at the end. E.g., She has been studying English for eight years. / My dog has been running around for the past hour.
The answer is at 1:43! But basically, use "has" when the subject is he, she, it, a singular countable noun, or an uncountable noun. Use "have" when the subject is you, we, they, or a plural count noun.
You wouldn't use "had" in the present perfect progressive tense. You could say "have had" or "has had" in the present perfect tense, but the present perfect progressive tense would only be "have been having" or "has been having," and it's rare to use "have" for a continuing (progressive) action. Try watching our video on the Present Perfect to help you. Good luck on your test!
Hi, in this case, the speaker/writer knows that "the student" is a girl or woman who uses she/her pronouns. If the speaker didn't know, it's correct to use "their" for a singular gender-neutral pronoun. You can also use "their" for someone who you know uses they/them pronouns.
Note: There's a mistake at 4:25. It should be "She's been living in Australia for seven years." Apologies for forgetting the preposition "in" and thanks to our viewers who pointed it out!

@@ellii thank you
@@senthiladm That's correct! Have lived = present perfect; have been living = present perfect progressive.
Do you have a video for future perfect continuos tense tense with the bear.
We don't have that yet, but thanks for letting us know you're looking for it! We'll add it to our to-do list.
My parents and I have been living in California for 3 years before moving.
If you use "before moving," it means you have already moved, so you would need the past perfect progressive: My parents and I had been living in California for 3 years before moving.
If you want to use the present perfect progressive, you can say something like this: My parents and I have been living in California for 3 years, but we are going to move soon.

What are some usage of present perfect progressive?

Great example sentence!
Pls mention the rule also
Which rule do you mean?
What type of sentence is "i have been to australli"
"I have been to Australia" is an example of the present perfect tense.
Idk when i use have or has
The answer is at 1:43! But basically, use "has" when the subject is he, she, it, a singular countable noun, or an uncountable noun. Use "have" when the subject is you, we, they, or a plural count noun.

You wouldn't use "had" in the present perfect progressive tense. You could say "have had" or "has had" in the present perfect tense, but the present perfect progressive tense would only be "have been having" or "has been having," and it's rare to use "have" for a continuing (progressive) action. Try watching our video on the Present Perfect to help you. Good luck on your test!
@@ellii thanks❤️❤️
She’s been living Australia for thirteen years. This one has a mistake on it.
Great catch! We'll leave a pinned comment about it. Unfortunately RUclips won't let us update a video (besides reloading a new one).
Why is not thier why is her? 3:09
Is it singular or plural? I thought the letter s was for plural
I forgot that the letter s is an abbreviation for the word has
Hi, in this case, the speaker/writer knows that "the student" is a girl or woman who uses she/her pronouns. If the speaker didn't know, it's correct to use "their" for a singular gender-neutral pronoun. You can also use "their" for someone who you know uses they/them pronouns.
"The student has" or "the student's" is singular. "The students have" is the plural form.
