Assistant Professor Nussipaliev Nurzhan Serikovich

Write a list of words for each group of picture.

Grammar Present Perfect Continuous

● We use the Present perfect continuous to talk about recent activities. It answers the question ‘How have you been spending your time?’:

I’ve been writing letters.

I haven’t been working very hard.

● Like the present perfect simple, this tense cannot be used with past time expressions, but we can use it with expressions such us recently, this week, over the last few days:

I’ve been writing a lot of letters recently.

I haven’t been working very hard this week.

● Forms of the present perfect continuous:

I’ve She’s	been working hard
Have you Has she	been working hard?

Present perfect continuous and simple tenses

Present perfect continuous and simple tenses are often used together. We use the continuous form to talk about activities, and the simple form to talk about individual actions:

I’ve been getting ready for my trip. I’ve packed my case, I’ve collected my tickets I’ve changed some money.

I’ve been writing an essay. I’ve written it in rough but I haven’t typed it out yet.
