a. Pengertian dan Fungsi Present Perfect Continuous (I have been doing)

Mudahnya, present perfect continuous merujuk pada aktifitas yang MASIH terjadi sampai sekarang. Namun, perlunya nanti diperhatikan konteks lebih lengkapnya. Mari kita pahami contoh berikut:

I have been learning English. (Aku masih belajar bahasa Inggris)

Toni is watching TV now. He’s been watching television all day.

b. Struktur Kalimat: Subject + have/has + been + verb-ing

I/we/they/you   have     been     working, playing, waiting.

He/she/it                      has       been     working, playing, waiting.

b. Konteks

- Merujuk pada aktifitas yang baru saja terjadi. Untuk konteks ini, fungsinya sama dengan present perfect tense.

Contoh:

You’re out of breath. Have you been running? (Kamu ngos-ngosan. Barusan lari?)

Paulina is very sleepy. She has been working so hard. (Paulina ngantuk banget. Dia barusan kerja keras)

Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you. (Dari mana kamu? Aku barusan nyari kamu)

- Merujuk pada aktifitas yang masih terjadi sampai sekarang.

How long has it been raining? (Berapa lama hujannya?) = (the rain until now)

We’ve been playing game for three hours. = (playing until now)

We’ve been waiting for you since 7 this morning.= (waiting until now)

Catatan: Kita sering pakai tenses ini bila berkaitan dengan durasi aktifitas. (biasanya ada keterangan seperti for dan since)
