Listen "22. Where to use Present Perfect Continuous Tense?"
Episode Synopsis
Present Perfect Continuous Tense tells us about something that has been happening for a while and is still continuing now.
For example:
He is singing vs He has been singing for 20 minutes.
Hari is cooking rice vs Hari has been cooking rice for half an hour.
Present Perfect Continuous tense essentially conveys two ideas: a) Something is happening, and, b) The duration for which it has been happening. Thus when you want to convey for how long a continuous action has been going on, use has/have been + ing.
