Note 1 When we use the present perfect, why do we use it? To talk about events that started in the __________ and continue until __________ and maybe in to the ___________. We use the present perfect progressive, we use it to show that something is unfinished. It started in the past and is still continuing. The focus is on the continuation of the action.

Note 1 Past NowFuture _______________________________________________> Have been reading I’ve been reading a book about solar energy. ( I am still reading it).

Note 1 We often us the present perfect to show that something is finished. The focus is on the result of the action. Past NowFuture ____________X__________________________________> have read I’ve read a book about solar energy. (I finished the book). She’s written an article. (She finished the article).

Note 1 People have been designing homes that use less energy. Is this finished? No! What tense is this? Present perfect progressive Are people still designing homes that use less energy? Yes! = unfinished action An engineer has designed a new solar car. Is this finished? Yes! What tense is this? Is the engineer still designing solar cars? No! He/ she has already designed it. = finished action

Note 1 Be careful! The present perfect is used for actions that are finished- actions that started in the past and continue into the present. BUUUUUUUUTTTTTTT if you want to talk about the present perfect, you must use it to describe an unfinished action with since and for. The present perfect progressive for finished actions that ended in the recent past… A: You look tired. B: I am! I’ve been exercising. When do you think B finished exercising? AN hour ago or just a few minutes ago? We use the present progressive for actions that ended in the very recent past. The person looks tired now.

Note 1 Use the present perfect progressive for finished actions that ended in the very recent past. You can often still see the results of the action. Look! The streets are wet. It’s been raining. (it started raining very recently). NOT: It’s rained. Do NOT use non-action verbs, such as be, have, and know in the progressive. She’s had the same job since NOT: She’s been having the same job since 2000.

Note 1 (Be careful) We usually do NOT use non action verbs in the progressive. What are other some non-action verbs? Have, be, think, know…. How would we use these verbs in present perfect statements? I have had dinner. NOT I have been having dinner since 4:00PM. I have been to Japan. I have gone to Japan. OK I have been going to Japan for many years. I have thought about studying Chinese. OK I have been thinking about studying Chinese for a few months.

Note 2 Present perfect progressive How long + unfinished action Ex. I’ve been reading books about wind energy for two months. I’ve been studying for three hours. He’s been cooking for one hour. They’ve been working all day.

Note 2 Present perfect How much, how many things, how many times + finished action Ex. I’ve read a lot about it. She’s written three articles. I’ve read that book twice. I’ve talked to a lot of people. I’ve mailed three packages. He’s called me twice.

Note 3 She has been working in Africa for a year. She has worked in Africa for a year. Sometimes, you can use either the present perfect progressive or the present perfect. The meaning is basically the same. This is true with verbs such as live, study, teach and work with for or since. She’s been teaching French since she got her degree. (She hasn’t always taught French= temporary). She’s always taught Spanish. (She has taught Spanish since she started teaching= permanent. The present perfect progressive can express that the action is temporary and the present perfect can express that the action is permanent.
