now what about this one the present perfect progressive? Does anybody wait -
have you ever heard or seen this thing before? just now? okay, before? this is a review for you?
okay well what does it look like? what is the form? what is the form? okay
so we need three things, right? to make this, right? we need "be" first plus - oh wait sorry, okay, yeah
you need "have" plus "been" always "been"
plus verb "ing" so three parts, three parts, now this one can change though
because its present, present, so what are the different forms of the verb "have"? "have" and "has", good
so that's the present, yeah, you can use "have" or "has" depending on your subject, right
so this is always, always, always "been" okay and this is any verb except for what kind of verbs?
so you can't use non action verbs here, you can't say "I have been understanding" you can't say
"she has been knowing" you can't use non action verbs, okay, so let's get some examples
she has been reading a book and then period, has, right? been reading, verb "ing" okay
this is an affirmative statement, how do I make it negative? good, so why did you put the negative here?
why didn't you use, like, "do" or "did" or doesn't?we have lesson vertices will okay live is that
helping her this is a helping verb you don't need another helping verb this is even a healthy verb
so you definitely don't need another healthy verb you only need a helping verbs with you don't have
one right but here you have one so it's easy you just have to add not after the first helping her
okay how about it question a yes/no question you're such good reason has she been reading
has she been reading this so same thing we put the helping verb first right and then we put the rest
of the verbs how about a wh question whatsoever or gets bored on sort of the and we have to say
yes she has been okay you can jump short answers just the first helping verb yes she has or no she
hasn't we always use a contraction for a short answers no she hasn't you don't yeah for a short
answer we usually we we make it contraction she hasn't okay how about a wh question let's
ask about what kind of book so what what has she been reading perfect okay so same thing we use the
question word and then what do we have helping her helping her on some journalist job J right
and then the rest of the verb right okay yes the time and when we use it and why great so this is
what it looks like okay and we need to practice that I'm going to explain when we use in why we
so when and what twin and what going to racy as an escort okay well so when when do we use
it why do we use it how do we use it that's the most important question right because
the formula you can skip that right but how when why okay so when do we even we use it
to explain does anybody know to explain these yes your husband always you starting in the
past and continues right progress and continues until now or maybe into the future that's a lot
of information I'll draw you a picture of what that looks like remember this is the past now so
we use it to explain an action that started in the past right and continues until the present
or maybe even continues to the future okay so donation so it's not simple past simple
passive I lived in Egypt I read a book done since right but present perfect progressive is
I have been reading a book I started it last week right I started it last week and I'm
still reading it now okay so am I done no no no exactly I'm still reading so we need to focus
on time the most important question is how long when somebody want to ask you how long or less
time right hello usually you're going to use the present perfect progressive or you use the
present perfect progressive to explain how long something something starting to pass continues
till now right so how long I've been reading a book for you can then you can explain how long
right for two years or two weeks I've been reading about since last week so there's two special time
words that you need to know what are those two time word stands and for we can use sense and for
with the present perfect progressive when we use since we have to use a specific time when you say
I have been reading it will since yesterday yep so this is a specific time in the past or I I I
have you can say I have right and then to make it faster I've right so you want to use for when do
we use for we've are we're using a duration like a duration like a length of time right so I have
been reading a book for well yesterday is one day ago so maybe it feels like a long time but let's
but yet but what if I just want to say whistling but how do i how do I say the same thing using for
long well I started yesterday so it's been working one day something I I mean yeah yeah
so for is something we use with a duration since we use for a specific time in the past
right okay you could also use since plus the simple past that's okay this specific time in
the past can be a new clause remember clauses is subject verb that verb can be past so she
has been living in California since now let's say you could say 1990 right or you can use a
new clause so since she won the green card lottery okay you see this is the specific
time in the past look at the verb what's that verb simple past right simple past okay
