Present Perfect Continuous Practice

Introduction

Present Perfect Continuous highlights ongoing activity that started in the past and continues into the present. It uses “have/has been + verb‑ing” and often pairs with duration expressions like “for” and starting points like “since”. This practice helps you recognize when to emphasize the activity and duration versus the result (Present Perfect) or the exact current moment (Present Continuous).
