PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS

The Present Perfect Continuous is formed by means of the auxiliary verb to be in the Present Perfect Tense (have/has been) and Participle I of the notional verb.

I have been writing. Has she been writing? They have not been writing

1) The Present Perfect Continuous Inclusive is used to denote an action which began in the past, has been going on up to the present and is still going on.

The emphasis is put on the continuation of a long activity at the present moment.

The period of duration is indicated by an adverbial with for, whereas an adverbial with since shows the starting point of the action (if the conjunction since introduces a clause, the verb in this clause is in the Past Indefinite), these two days, etc. e.g. I have been looking for your white dress for the last ten minutes. This youth organization has been doing a lot of charity work since the mid-nineties. She has been telling lies all her life.

With verbs not admitting of the continuous form the Present Perfect Inclusive is the only tense possible. 2) The Present Perfect Continuous Exclusive is used to denote an action which was recently in progress but is no longer going on at the present moment.

The fact of the result of a long activity itself is more essential than the period of its duration, which may not be even mentioned. = Actions stopping just before the present moment. e.g. Look! It has been snowing. Sorry, I‘m late. Have you been waiting for me?

The Present Perfect Continuous Exclusive is used to express repeated actions in the past. e.g. I have been buying pictures. I have been getting letters from him.

PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS

The Past Perfect Continuous Tense is formed by means of auxiliary verb to be in the Past Perfect Tense (had been) and Participle I of the notional verb.

1) The Past Perfect Continuous Inclusive is used to denote an action which began before a definite moment in the past, continued up to that moment and was still going on at that moment.

Either the starting point is indicated (since) or the whole period of duration (for). e.g. We couldn‘t go out because it had been raining since early morning. When you saw us, we had been running for 6 miles – and we still had a mile to go!

The difference between the Past Perfect and the Past Perfect Continuous Inclusive is that the latter refers to earlier past activities of certain duration that were either still in progress at a given later time in the past or completed by that time.

The Past Perfect Inclusive is used with verbs not admitting of the Continuous form and in negative sentences.

The Past Perfect Continuous shouldn‘t be confused with Past Continuous. The Past Continuous is used to denote an action going on at a definite moment in the past, no previous duration is expressed. e.g. And now it was raining, had been raining for days the miserable fall rains of Eastern France. The car was waiting at the kerb. It had been waiting for two hours.

2) The Past Perfect Continuous Exclusive denotes an action which was no longer going on at a definite moment in the past, but which had been in progress not long before. = a past action of certain duration which had visible results in the past. e.g. All roads were blocked: it had been snowing all night long. Her fingers hurt because she had been playing guitar all day. She looked tired because she had been exercising all morning.

FUTURE PERFECT CONTINUOUS

The Future Perfect Continuous Tense is formed by means of auxiliary verb to be in the Future Perfect Tense (will have been) and Participle I of the notional verb.

It is used to denote an action which will begin before a definite moment in the future, will continue up to that moment and will be going on at that moment. = It denotes an action lasting for a period of time up to or including a certain future moment.

This moment can be indicated by an adverbial with the preposition by or by another future action.

The Future Perfect Continuous (not the Future Perfect) is normally used to emphasize the process rather than the future result.

As with all Continuous tenses the Future Perfect Continuous is not used with stative verbs which take the Future Perfect instead. e.g. By the end of the year, they will have been working at this project for two years. We will have been working at this problem for a month when you visit us for a second time. By this time next month he will have been studying the piano for 2 years.
