We use the present perfect continuous tense to talk about:

1. Past action still continuing

2. Past action recently stopped

1. ऐसे कार्य जो भूतकाल में शुरू हुए हो और वर्तमान में अब भी जारी है। ऐसे वाक्यों में since या for का प्रयोग समय को व्यक्त करने के लिए किया जाता है।

We use the present perfect continuous tense to represent the progress of an unfinished action that started in the past and is continuing till now. This is often used with for or since.

The children have been playing since morning.

We have been watching TV for an hour.

2. यह Tense उन कार्यों को भी represent करता है जो भूतकाल में शुरू हुए और हाल ही में समाप्त हुए हैं।

It can be used to depict a finished action that started in the past and just stopped recently.

He’s sweating (now) because he has been running.

He’s drenched as he has been watering the plants.

सभी verbs को continuous form में नहीं बनाया जा सकता (कुछ विशेष दशाओं को छोड़ कर)। इस दशा में Present Perfect Tense का प्रयोग किया जाता है।

All verbs are not compatible with continuous action. In that case, we use Present Perfect Tense.

Some examples of such verbs are to know, to like, to appear, etc.

Always use the present perfect simple not continuous with the verbs believe, know, understand, like, dislike, belong, own

I have never understood Math very well.

He has always liked sports.

We have known each other since we were kids.

I have been knowing him for 2 years. (incorrect)

I have known him for 2 years. (correct)

I have been owning this house for years. (incorrect)

I have owned this house for years. (correct)

It has been exiting for a century. ( Incorrect)

It has existed for a century. ( Correct)

When we do not use duration in the present perfect continuous tense, in order to emphasize the meaning, we use ‘recently’ or ‘lately’.

The following examples express the use of present perfect continuous tense, without any duration.

Have you been eating healthy lately?

Recently, Nikhil has been reading good books.

What have they been working on lately?

Recently, she has been falling ill too often.
