Present Perfect
ContinuousBy Miguel Villegas
We use the Present Perfect Continuous to talk about present situations that started in the past and continue in the present. Example:
We use for and since with the Present Perfect Continuous:
For is used with a period of time or length of time. Example:
How long have they been studying English?- They have been studying English for three months.
Since is used with a specific point in time. Example:
How long has he been working there?- He has been working there since 2009.
