d) Present Perfect Continuous Tense:
This tense can be used when an activity has been started in the past and is still being run in the present.
formula: subject + have/has + been + v1 + ing + object
Ex: I have been working for 5 hours.
It means that I started my work 5 hours ago (past) and still doing it(present). Let me give you more examples:
*They have been playing cricket since 9 o' clock.
*He has been staring at that girl for 3 hours.
*She has not been performing well for 3 months.
Way of using since and for is already explained in my previous blog: Difference between "since" and "for" in terms of time.
With this, we've completed discussing about Present Tense in Active Voice. Let's see a table below, which explains all the present tenses in both active voice and passive voice with proper examples:
