Present Perfect Continuous

Oggi durante l'ora di inglese è stato spiegato il Present Perfect Continuous.

Il Present Perfect Continuous sostituisce il Present Perfect nelle frasi con for, since o nelle domande con how long.

Esempio:

How long has it been raining?
Da quanto tempo sta piovendo?

It has been raining for two hours.
Piove da due ore.

La forma affermativa si costruisce con il soggetto + have/has + been + il verbo con la forma ing.

Esempi:

I have been teaching belly dancing for about 6 years.
You have been reading.
He/She/It has been reading.

La forma negativa si costruisce con il soggetto + have not/has not + been + il verbo con la forma ing.

Esempi:

I have not been reading.
You have not been reading.
He/she/it has not been reading.

La forma interrogativa si costruisce con have/has + soggetto + been + il verbo con la forma ing.

Esempi:
