Learn English Tenses: PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS

What does it mean when someone says: “I have been working”? This advanced tense is called the PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS or PRESENT PERFECT PROGRESSIVE. It shows that an action started in the past and continues into the present. In this English grammar class, I’ll teach you how to use this verb tense, when to use it, and what mistakes to avoid. We’ll focus on structure, usage, spelling, pronunciation, contractions, questions, short answers, stative verbs, and irregular verbs. We’ll move forward step-by-step and do practice exercises together, so you understand clearly. This class is part of my engVid series on English verb tenses. So join me now to master this tense, upgrade your academic and business English, or get a higher score on English exams like the IELTS.
