Present perfect continuous tense akan dipakai guna menerangkan peristiwa yang mulai dimasa lalu dan telah berlangsung dimasa hingga saat sekarang ini. Pada beberapa kasus tertentu tenses ini sama dengan present perfect.
Simak contoh berikut :
They have lived here for eleven years
They have been living here for eleven years
Present perfect continuous tense kita bentuk menggunakan have atau has been dan present participle (-ing form)
I have been going We have been going
You have been going You have been going
---------------------------------------------------------------
She has been going
He has been going They have been going
It has been going
Adapun untuk membuat kalimat dlam bentuk negatif, beri tambahan not setelah have atau has dan kata kerja yang kita gunakan tak mengalami perubahan.
Contohnya :
The have not/haven't been living here for long
He has not/hasn't been traveling all over Europe
Terakhir, Untuk membentuk yes atau no question, have atau has kita letak di awal kalimat yakni sebelum subjek.
simak contoh berikut :
