Introduction
Present Perfect progressive
We use the present perfect continuous to talk about unfinished
actions that started
in the past and are continuing now.
I have been baking this cake. (He estado haciendo este
pastel)The present perfect
continuous is also used to express actions that are not finished
and were
progressive in the past.
She has been painting a picture the whole day. (Ella ha estado
pintando un cuadro
todo el da)Here, she started to paint the picture and she has
been painting for aperiod of time during the day, but in the moment
of speaking she has not finished
painting the picture.
Present Perfect
The present perfect is formed by combining the auxiliary verb
"has" or "have" withthe past participle.
I have studied.He has written a letter to Mara.We have been
stranded for six days.
Because the present perfect is a compound tense, two verbs are
required: themain verb and the auxiliaryverb.
I have studied.(main verb: studied ; auxiliary verb: have)
He has written a letter to Mara.
(main verb: written ; auxiliary verb: has)
We have been stranded for six days.(main verb: been ; auxiliary
verb: have)
