When We Use Present Perfect Continuous ?!

1. Duration from the Past Until Now :We use the Present Perfect Continuous to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. "For five minutes," "for two weeks," and "since Tuesday" are all durations which can be used with the Present Perfect Continuous.

Example :

1.We have been waiting here for over two hours!

2.James has not been teaching at the university since June.

3.Has she been waiting here for one hour?

2. Recently, LatelyYou can also use the Present Perfect Continuous WITHOUT a duration such as "for two weeks." Without the duration, the tense has a more general meaning of "lately." We often use the words "lately" or "recently" to emphasize this meaning.

Example :

1.She has been watching too much television lately.

2.Lisa has not been practicing her English.

3.Have you been exercising lately?
