Lesson 3.2

Grammar: Gerund

    Present perfect continuous

Present perfect = I have studied for my English test

Present perfect continuous= I have been studying for my English test for hours already. 

Use:

1. To express an activity which began in the past and continues to the present: He's been studying English for years.
2. to refer to an activity with a result in the present: I haven't got any money because I've been shopping.

Note:

1. Sometimes there is no difference in meaning between the Present Perfect Simple and the Present Perfect Continuous.
   

How long have you lived here?      

How long have you been living here?

   2. State verbs - like,love,know, have (for possession) are NOT found in the Present Perfect Continuous.

We've known each other for a few weeks. NOT   We've been knowing each other for a few weeks.

Note:

3. Some verbs have the idea of a long time - wait, work, travel, learn, play. These verbs can often be found in the Present Perfect Continuous: I've been waiting all day. 
4. Some verbs don't have the idea of a long time: find, start, buy, die, lose, break, stop. It is unusual to find these verbs in the Present Perfect Continuous: My cat has died. My iPad's broken. I've bought a puppy. 

Note: 

If the sentence gives a number in a quantity, the Present Perfect Simple is used. The Continuous is not possible.

I've been writing emails all morning. I've written twenty.

NOT I've been writing twenty

Choose the correct answer:
I ... about you

1. have thought
2. have been thinking

Choose the correct answer:

1. have run
2. have ran
3. have been running

Fill in the present perfect continuous
I ... ... ... for such a long time

1. have been loving you
2. have loved you
3. loved you

Make a sentence using these words and a present perfect continuous:
I - CLEAN ALL MORNING - I AM TIRED

Fill in the present perfect continuous:
I ... ... ... for a girl like you to come into my life
