PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS

Времена Perfect Continuous используются для обозначения процесса, который начался и длился в течение некоторого времени до некоего момента в настоящем, прошлом или будущем.

Время Present Perfect Continuous указывает на действие, которое началось в прошлом, продолжалось в течение некоторого времени и либо закончилось непосредственно перед разговором или все еще продолжается в момент разговора.

I have been waiting here for 2 hours!
Я прождал здесь два часа!

We have been preparing for our exam since morning.
Мы готовились к экзамену с самого утра.

Образование Present Perfect Continuous

Утвердительные предложения:

I have been playing	We have been playing
You have been playing	You have been playing
He / she / it has been playing	They have been playing

Вопросительные предложения:

Have I been playing?	Have we been playing?
Have you been playing?	Have you been playing?
Has he / she / been playing?	Have they been playing?

Отрицательные предложения:

I have not been playing	We have not been playing
You have not been playing	You have not been playing
He / she / it has not been playing	They have not been playing

Для того, чтобы поставить глагол в форму времени Present Perfect Continuous, требуется вспомогательный глагол to be во времени Present Perfect и причастие настоящего времени (форма V-ing) смыслового глагола.

To be во времени Present Perfect имеет две формы:

· Have been – 1 и 2 лицо ед. ч. и все формы мн. ч.

· Has been – 3 лицо ед. ч.

Причастие настоящего времени (Participle I) можно получить, прибавив к начальной форме значимого глагола -ing:

jump – jump ing, live – liv ing

В вопросительном предложении вспомогательный глагол to have выносится на место перед подлежащим, а остальная часть сказуемого располагается после него:

I smell tobacco. Have you been smoking?
Я чувствую запах табака. Ты что, курил?

Has she been using my car again?
Она опять пользовалась моей машиной?

В отрицательных предложениях за вспомогательным глаголом to have следует отрицательная частица not:

It has not been snowing here since 2012.
Здесь не было снега с 1993 года.

Случаи употребления Present Perfect Continuous:

· Действие, которое началось в прошлом, продолжалось в течение некоторого времени и все еще продолжается в момент разговора:

The workers have been trying to move our wardrobe for half an hour, go help them.
Рабочие вот уже полчаса пытаются сдвинуть наш шкаф с места, помоги им.

· Действие, которое началось в прошлом, продолжалось в течение некоторого времени и закончилось непосредственно перед разговором:

Do you like this cake? I have been baking it since morning.
Тебе нравится этот пирог? Я пекла его с самого утра.
