Как правильно использовать Present Perfect Continuous

Привет, дорогие друзбя. Сегодня мы будем разбираться, что такое Present Perfect Continuous, как правильно его употреблять в речи и зачем он нужен в английской грамматике.

Present Perfect Continuous — используется для выражения действия, которое началось в прошлом и происходило до настоящего момента или, возможно, всё ещё происходит. Если действие завершено, то его результат видимый в настоящем. В этом времени делается ударение именно на длительности действия и дается ответ на вопрос «как долго происходит действие?».

Примеры:

• I’ve been standing here for two hours.
• Я простояла здесь на протяжении двух часов. (И я всё ещё стою здесь.)

 

• We’ve been writing this report all morning, I’m very hungry now.
• Мы писали этот отчет все утро, теперь я очень голодна.

 

• She’s been running for an hour, she feels tired.
• Она бежала на протяжении часа, она чувствует себя уставшей.

Период времени обозначается обстоятельствами времени, выраженными сочетаниями с предлогами:

• for a long time / for  a week /
• since early morning / since two o’clock /
