1. Formation: Subject + have/has been + present participle (verb + -ing)
2. Used for actions that:
– Started in the past and continue up to the present
– Have been happening recently and may still be ongoing
3. Often used with time expressions like ‘for,’ ‘since,’ ‘all day,’ ‘lately’
4. Emphasizes the duration or continuity of an action
5. Can indicate a temporary situation
6. Often explains present results or states
7. Contrasts with simple present perfect by focusing on the action’s duration rather than its completion
8. Common in questions starting with ‘How long…?’
