PRESENT PERFECT PROGRESSIVE
( CONTINOUS ) TENSE
INTRODUCTION:
The present perfect continuous tense (also known as the present perfect progressive tense) shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time.
This means that the action itself began in the past. However, it continues to the present and has not yet stopped. It is still occurring as the sentence is written or read. Additionally, this tense can refer to something that is a relatively new habit that has been happening for some time. In this sense, it takes on the general meaning, “lately” or “recently.”
DEFINITION:
