Structure Present Perfect progressive

-

 


When to use the Present  Perfect Progressive:

  1. To talk about an action that started in the past and is still on going.
  2. To describe an action that has just been completed and has a connection to the present.
  3. To emphasize the duration of an action that has been going on for a while.


Structure


Example:

She has been studying for three hours.

They have been traveling around Europe for two weeks.

He has been practicing the piano for hours every day.


Important: note that the auxiliary verb "have" changes depending on the subject of the sentence. For example, "have" is used with the first and second person singular (I, you) and plural (we, you, they), while "has" is used with the third person singular (he, she, it). This happens in the three forms of the present perfect progressive +, -. ?.



Example:

She has not been studying for three hours.

They have not been traveling around Europe for two weeks.

We have not been working on this project since last month.



Have we been working on this project since last month?

Has he been practicing the piano for hours every day?

Has the baby been crying for an hour?

  Global Warming Global warming is a phenomenon that occurs when the Earth's average temperature increases due to the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. These gases, such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide, trap the sun's heat and retain it on Earth, causing the global temperature to rise. This rise in temperature has serious and often irreversible consequences for our planet. Melting glaciers and rising sea levels can inundate coastal areas and cause loss of habitats and biodiversity. In addition, rising temperatures can lead to droughts, forest fires and more intense storms, affecting food production and people's quality of life. Global warming is mainly caused by human activity, such as the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation. It is important that we take steps to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and protect our planet. We can do this by adopting more sustainable lifestyle practices, such as using public transportation or bicycles, eat...
