Present Perfect

PRESENT PERFECT

Present Perfect Continuous terdiri dari sebuah subjek, sebuah kata kerja -ing dan dua kata kerja bantu (”been” dan “have”).

Subject + has/have + been + verb+ing

Contoh:

* She has been crying in her room for half an hour now
* We‘ve been waiting for a good offer to buy a car since March
* I‘ve been waiting for you to come (but now you’re back!)

Untuk bentuk negatif ditambahkan not. Contoh:

* I haven’t been sleeping very well recently
* I haven’t been waiting for 50 minutes
* John hasn’t been using his A drive for a long time

Untuk bentuk bertanya kita menukar posisi have/has dengan subjek. Contoh:

* Have you been running?
* Has Tom been walking the dog?
* How long have you been learning English?
* What have you been doing there?
