Good day! I have some problems with present perfect and I need help. I need some explanations for the usage of the Present Perfect Simple & Present Perfect Continuous for repeated actions. In my books is written that these both times (the Present Perfect Simple & the Present Perfect...
I think that the Present Perfect is used in this case with “stative verbs” and with “dynamic verbs” I should use the Present Perfect Continuous. What is the difference between the Present Perfect and the Present Perfect Continuous when we talk about unfinished actions which started in the past and continue to the present?
Either tense can be used by a native speaker. But are all three tenses used before my last day is on the course is finished? If I tell my friend: "I have been studying/studied/have studied English for the last two years but now I am switching to a new course." Are present perfect continuous, present perfect and past simple correct?
In recent years we are losing our four distinct seasons. Is Present Continuous correct here or should be Present Perfect Continuous since 'in recent years' means something that started in the past and is still relevant in the Present?
She has been sick since last week.or she has been being sick since last week.kindly clarify :since: normally goes with present perfect continuous tense..
The verb tense "present perfect" covers a time period that starts in the past and ends now (as you speak). As you point out, "presen perfect continuous" usually means something happens for that entire time period, while a non-continuous verb can mean that or can talk about something happening during that time period.
