Present Perfect Continuous
Il Present Perfect Continuous (a volte chiamato Present Perfect Progressive) non è così comune come altri tempi, ma è comunque importante comprenderlo e riconoscerlo. Lo formiamo con il Present Perfect di 'be' + verbo-ing.
La struttura è: soggetto + have/has been + verbo-ing.
