The present perfect continuous tense
Present Perfect Continuous обозначает действие или состояние, которое началось в прошедшем и продолжалось в течение определённого периода до момента речи и либо всё ещё продолжается в этот момент, либо закончилось непосредственно перед ним.
I've been waiting for him for two hours. (Начал ждать 2 часа тому назад и жду до сих пор или ждал до самого последнего момента.)
В предложениях с Present Perfect Continuous обычно употребляются обстоятельства времени, указывающие на длительность или на момент начала действия или состояния, обозначаемого глаголом. Длительность действия указывается обстоятельствами типа for two hours (a week, three months, ten years), for a long time, all day, all day long, how long, а начало действия - оборотами с предлогом since (since 1990, since eight o'clock, since I came here, since childhood).
How long have you been studying English?
We've been living here since my birth.
I've been working in the garden all day long.
С глаголами, которые не образуют форм Continuous, в значении Present Perfect Continuous употребляются формы Present Perfect.
I've known Jack for five years.
Present Perfect Continuous образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to be в Present Perfect и причастия настоящего времени (Present Participle) основного глагола:
have/has been + Ving
