Present perfect vs present perfect continuous <-----Original thread title added to post by moderator (Florentia52)----->
Hello. As far as I’m concerned we can use both tenses when we refer to the actions that started in the past and is still on. However I noticed that the present perfect continuous is a more popular option here.
1
“ lately the actor has started something different. He ……….. and doing sculptures. A) has been painting B) is painting C ) has painted
2
Jim ………… in this company since 2009 - A) has been working B ) has worked
3. The present perfect continuous tense is used for the action that started in the past and is in progress now. Why do we say “ I’m tired because I’ve been running “ ? - In the moment of speaking the action is finished.
