Grammar Point: Present perfect continuous

The present perfect continuous (also called present perfect progressive) is a verb tense which
is used to show that an action started in the past and has continued up to the present moment.
The present perfect continuous usually emphasizes duration, or the amount of time that an
action has been taking place. Read on for detailed descriptions, examples, and present perfect
continuous exercises.

Present Perfect Continuous Forms

The present perfect continuous is formed using has/have + been + present participle. Questions
are indicated by inverting the subject and has/have. Negatives are made with not.

• Statement: You have been waiting here for two hours.
• Question: Have you been waiting here for two hours?
• Negative: You have not been waiting here for two hours.

Present Perfect Continuous Uses

USE 1 Duration from the Past Until Now

We use the present perfect continuous to show that something started in the past and has
continued up until now. "For five minutes," "for two weeks," and "since Tuesday" are all
durations which can be used with the present perfect continuous.

Examples:

• They have been talking for the last hour.
• She has been working at that company for three years.
• What have you been doing for the last 30 minutes?
• James has been teaching at the university since June.
• We have been waiting here for over two hours!
• Why has Nancy not been taking her medicine for the last three days?

USE 2 Recently, Lately

You can also use the present perfect continuous WITHOUT a duration such as "for two weeks."
Without the duration, the tense has a more general meaning of "lately." We often use the words
"lately" or "recently" to emphasize this meaning.

Examples:

• Recently, I have been feeling really tired.
• She has been watching too much television lately.
• Have you been exercising lately?
• Mary has been feeling a little depressed.
• Lisa has not been practicing her English.
• What have you been doing?

IMPORTANT

Remember that the present perfect continuous has the meaning of "lately" or "recently." If you
use the present perfect continuous in a question such as "Have you been feeling alright?", it
can suggest that the person looks sick or unhealthy. A question such as "Have you been
smoking?" can suggest that you smell the smoke on the person. Using this tense in a question
suggests you can see, smell, hear or feel the results of the action. It is possible to insult
someone by using this tense incorrectly.

REMEMBER Non-Continuous Verbs/ Mixed Verbs

It is important to remember that non-continuous verbs cannot be used in any continuous
tenses. Also, certain non-continuous meanings for mixed verbs cannot be used in continuous
tenses. Instead of using present perfect continuous with these verbs, you must use present
perfect.

Examples:

• Sam has been having his car for two years. Not Correct
• Sam has had his car for two years. Correct

ADVERB PLACEMENT

The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never,
ever, still, just, etc.

Examples:

• You have only been waiting here for one hour.
• Have you only been waiting here for one hour?

ACTIVE / PASSIVE

Examples:

• Recently, John has been doing the work. Active
• Recently, the work has been being done by John. Passive

NOTE: Present perfect continuous is less commonly used in its passive form.

Grammar Point: Present simple

Level: beginner

The present tense is the base form of the verb:

I work in London.

But with the third person singular (he / she / it), we add an –s:

She works in London.

Present simple questions

Look at these questions:

Do you play the piano?
Where do you live?
Does Jack play football?
Where does he come from?
Do Rita and Angela live in Manchester?
Where do they work?

We use do and does to make questions with the present simple. We use does for the third
person singular (she / he / it) and do for the others.

We use do and does with question words like where, what and when:

Where do Angela and Rita live?
What does Angela do?
When does Rita usually get up?

But questions with who often don’t use do or does:

Who lives in London?
Who plays football at the weekend?
Who works at Liverpool City Hospital?

Here are some useful questions. Try to remember them:

Where do you come from? What work do you do?

Do you come from …? Do you like …?

Where do you live? Do you know …?

Do you live in ...?

Present simple negatives

Look at these sentences:

I like tennis but I don’t like football. (don’t = do not)
I don’t live in London now.
I don’t play the piano but I play the guitar.
They don’t work at the weekend.
John doesn’t live in Manchester. (doesn’t = does not)
Angela doesn’t drive to work. She goes by bus.

We use do and does to make negatives with the present simple. We use doesn’t for the third
person singular (she / he / it) and don’t for the others.

Present simple and present time

We use the present simple to talk about:

• something that is true in the present:
I’m nineteen years old.
I’m a student.
He lives in London.

• something that happens regularly in the present:
I play football every weekend.

• something that is always true:
The human body contains 206 bones.
Light travels at almost 300,000 kilometres per second.
We often use adverbs of frequency like sometimes, always and never with the present simple:
I sometimes go to the cinema.

She never plays football.
Here are some useful sentences. Complete them so they are true for you and try to remember
them:

My name is … . I’m a(n) … .
I’m … years old. I … at the weekend.
I come from … . I often … .
I live in … . I never … .

Complete these sentences so they are true for a friend and try to remember them:

She’s/He’s … years old. She/He … at the weekend.
She/He comes from … . She/He often … .

Grammar Point: Past simple

The simple past (also called past simple, past indefinite or preterite) is a verb tense which is
used to show that a completed action took place at a specific time in the past. The simple past
is also frequently used to talk about past habits and generalizations. Read on for detailed
descriptions, examples, and simple past exercises.

Simple Past Forms

The simple past is formed using the verb + ed. In addition, there are many verbs with
irregular past forms. Questions are made with did and negative forms are made with did not.

• Statement: You called Debbie.
• Question: Did you call Debbie?
• Negative: You did not call Debbie.

Complete List of Simple Past Forms

Simple Past Uses
USE 1 Completed Action in the Past

Use the simple past to express the idea that an action started and finished at a specific time in
the past. Sometimes, the speaker may not actually mention the specific time, but they do have
one specific time in mind.

Examples:
• I saw a movie yesterday.
• I didn't see a play yesterday.
• Last year, I traveled to Japan.
• Last year, I didn't travel to Korea.
• Did you have dinner last night?
• She washed her car.
• He didn't wash his car.

USE 2 A Series of Completed Actions

We use the simple past to list a series of completed actions in the past. These actions happen
1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and so on.

Examples:
• I finished work, walked to the beach, and found a nice place to swim.
• He arrived from the airport at 8:00, checked into the hotel at 9:00, and met the others
at 10:00.
• Did you add flour, pour in the milk, and then add the eggs?

USE 3 Duration in the Past

The simple past can be used with a duration which starts and stops in the past. A duration is a
longer action often indicated by expressions such as: for two years, for five minutes, all day, all
year, etc.

Examples:

• I lived in Brazil for two years.
• Shauna studied Japanese for five years.
• They sat at the beach all day.
• They did not stay at the party the entire time.
• We talked on the phone for thirty minutes.
• A: How long did you wait for them?

B: We waited for one hour.

USE 4 Habits in the Past

The simple past can also be used to describe a habit which stopped in the past. It can have
the same meaning as "used to." To make it clear that we are talking about a habit, we often
add expressions such as: always, often, usually, never, when I was a child, when I was
younger, etc.

Examples:

• I studied French when I was a child.
• He played the violin.
• He didn't play the piano.
• Did you play a musical instrument when you were a kid?
• She worked at the movie theater after school.

• They never went to school, they always skipped class.

USE 5 Past Facts or Generalizations

The simple past can also be used to describe past facts or generalizations which are no longer
true. As in USE 4 above, this use of the simple past is quite similar to the expression "used
to."

Examples:

• She was shy as a child, but now she is very outgoing.
• He didn't like tomatoes before.
• Did you live in Texas when you were a kid?
• People paid much more to make cell phone calls in the past.

Simple Past Tips

IMPORTANT When-Clauses Happen First

Clauses are groups of words which have meaning but are often not complete sentences. Some
clauses begin with the word "when" such as "when I dropped my pen..." or "when class
began..." These clauses are called when-clauses, and they are very important. The examples
below contain when-clauses.

Examples:

• When I paid her one dollar, she answered my question.
• She answered my question when I paid her one dollar.

When-clauses are important because they always happen first when both clauses are in the
simple past. Both of the examples above mean the same thing: first, I paid her one dollar, and
then, she answered my question. It is not important whether "when I paid her one dollar" is at
the beginning of the sentence or at the end of the sentence. However, the example below has
a different meaning. First, she answered my question, and then, I paid her one dollar.

Example:
• I paid her one dollar when she answered my question.

ADVERB PLACEMENT
The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never,
ever, still, just, etc.
Examples:

• You just called Debbie.
• Did you just call Debbie?
ACTIVE / PASSIVE
Examples:
• Tom repaired the car. Active
• The car was repaired by Tom. Passive
