Action Completed and Activity Overa Period of Time
The present perfect continuous tense is not used to describe completed action; for that time picture, we use the present perfect. Listen to the sentences below as your teacher reads them. All are in the present perfect tense. Some of the verbs describe a period of time, and some describe a completed action. If the verb describes an activity over a period of time, change it to the present perfect continuous tense. If it describes a completed action, simply repeat the sentence as it is.
