Uses present perfect continuous |
We use the present perfect continuous for an action or situation in progress from a time in the past up to now. Sales have been falling slowly over the last few years. I’ve been thinking about your suggestion all week.
Notice from the examples above that we often use a time adverb to state the duration of the situation in progress: over the last few years, all week, for ten years, for ages, since nine o’ clock.’ The action may continue into the future or not; we only know from the context. Here you are at last! I’ve been waiting for ages! (The waiting is finished)
