TOPIC 2: New topic.

The present perfect continuous tense helps us talk about actions that began in the past and are still going on or have just finished. It focuses on the action itself, its repetition, or its duration. This tense is useful in both everyday communication and more scientific or technical contexts where observations and changes are emphasized.

1. Present perfect continuous: form

We use the auxiliary verbs “have” or “has” + “been” + the “-ing” form of the verb to build this tense. It’s used in affirmative, negative, and interrogative forms, both full and contracted.

Structure:

Subject + have/has + been + verbing + complement.

Examples:

                                          AG.1.2.2

1. The plot has been changing throughout the series.
     La trama ha estado cambiando a lo largo de la serie.

2. The setting has been evolving in every episode.
