Observații:
Timpul Present Perfect Continous/Progressive se folosește pentru a exprima durata (how long? - de cât timp?) acțiunilor începute în trecut și care se continuă în prezent.
Folosim frecvent indici de timp precum „for” și „since”.
Ex.
Doris has been paining for half an hour.
We have been cycling on the road since this morning.
