Present Perfect vs. Continuous

  • Present Perfect vs. Continuous

  • Remember! The present perfect is for actions that started in the past and are now completed.
    Have/has + past participle
    -I have read this book three times. (The action is complete.)

    Use the present perfect continuous for actions that started in the past and are still continuing now.
    -I have been reading this book for three days. 
    (The action started in the past and is still continuing.)
