The Present Perfect – the Present Prefect Continuous.

The Present Perfect often expresses a recently completed action: He has just left. = He left a few minutes ago.

The Present Perfect Continuous is used for an action which began in the past and is still continuing (Type 1), or has just finished (Type 2).

Compare:

Type 1: I have been waiting for her for an hour. I don’t think she will come.

Type 2: I’m sorry I’m late. Have you been waiting long?

The Present Perfect can also express an action which began in the past and still continues, or has only just finished. When used in this way it is very like the Present Perfect Continuous, and often either form can be used:

He has lived here for 3 years. – He has been living here for 5 years.

How long have you learnt English? – How long have you been learning English?

I have dreamed to visit Italy for a long time. – I have been dreaming to visit Italy for a long time.

This is not possible with verbs which are not used in the Continuous forms. Thus, the Present Perfect Continuous cannot replace the Present Perfect in the following examples: I have known him for ages. She has been away since Monday.

The Present Perfect Continuous can be used with or without a time phrase. In this way it differs from the Present Perfect, which can only express this type of action by adding a time phrase such as since June, never, for a month. When the Present Perfect Indefinite is used without a time expression of this kind, it refers to a single completed action.

Compare:

I have been knocking (this is how I have spent the last five minutes). I think nobody is in.

I have knocked six times (this is what I have done – six completed actions). But there’s no answer.

I have knocked (it is a single completed action). Wait, please. I’m sure, she is in.
