Present perfect continuous[B1] Je gebruikt de present perfect continuous om te praten over activiteiten die in het verleden zijn
begonnen en nog steeds doorgaan of die op dit moment nog relevant zijn. Het kan gaan om een
activiteit die één keer voorkomt of om een activiteit die herhaaldelijk voorkomt.
In de zin staat vaak how long of een tijdsbepaling met for of since.
The company has been buying up properties steadily for a year now.
How long have you been working on that balance of payments?
Je maakt de present perfect continuous met have/has been en een werkwoord met de uitgang -ing.
I have been going over these bank statements since this morning.
Shazia has been thinking about taking an internship abroad for a while now.
They haven’t been doing what I asked them to.
Er is bij de present perfect continuous altijd een link met het heden: óf omdat de activiteit nog steeds
herhaaldelijk gebeurt óf omdat een activiteit nu nog steeds bezig is.
Ryan has been writing articles for different online magazines since his first internship four years ago.
(Het gebeurt dus vaker dat hij schrijft voor online tijdschriften: een activiteit die herhaaldelijk
voorkomt.)
The sales assistant has been dealing with customers since the shop opened at ten o’clock.
(De verkoopster is bezig geweest met klanten sinds de winkel om tien uur open ging en ze is daar nu
nog steeds mee bezig.)
[B2] Je gebruikt de present perfect continuous ook als een activiteit net is afgelopen, maar het
resultaat van die activiteit nog merkbaar en relevant is.
I’m exhausted; I’ve been running around town all day to collect everything I need for my pitch.
Boaz has been reading books on the history of economics to improve his knowledge on the subject.
[B2] Je kunt een present perfect continuous samen met een bijwoord gebruiken. Het bijwoord komt
dan altijd tussen de vorm van to have en been (zie ook word order).
Besides practising their maths, they’ve also been practising their presentation skills for the past
week.
I have just been checking those files you sent me an hour ago.
