Present Perfect Continuous

The present perfect continuous tense (also known as the present perfect progressive tense) shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time. The present perfect continuous is formed using the construction has/have been + the present participle (root + -ing).

El "present perfect continuous" se refiere a un periodo temporal inespecífico situado entre el pasado y el presente. El hablante se refiere a algo que empezó y que puede no haber concluido en ese periodo de tiempo.

Structures:

Affirmative: Subject + Have/Has + been+ v. ing +  complement
Ex: You have been dancing for 8 years.

Negative: Subject + have/has not + been+ v.ing + complement
Ex: You haven´t been dancing for 8 years

Interrogative: Have/has + subject + been + v. ing + complement + ?
