PREZENTUL PERFECT CONTINUU = PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS

- Prezentul perfect continuu se forneaza cu ajutorul verbului auxiliar to have (conjugat la timpul prezent
simplu) + participiul verbului to be (forma a III-a => been) + forma de baza a verbului de conjugat
(infinitivul scurt = infinitivul fara to) + sufixul -ing
have / has (pentru persoana a III-a sg) + been (to be la past participle / forma a III-a) + vb + -ing
Ex.: I have been reading = eu citeam

- Forma negativa se formeaza cu auxiliarul to have (conjugat la timpul prezent simplu) + not +
participiul verbului to be (forma a III-a => been) + forma de baza a verbului de conjugat (infinitivul
scurt = infinitivul fara to) + sufixul -ing. Forma prescurtata este havent, respectiv hasnt pentru
persoana a III-a singular.
have / has (pentru persoana a III-a sg) + not + been (to be la past participle / forma a III-a) + vb + -ing
Ex.: I have not been reading the book = I havent been reading the book = Eu nu am citit cartea
He has not been waiting for me = He hasnt been waiting for me = El nu m-a asteptat

- Forma interogativa se formeaza cu auxiliarul to have (conjugat la timpul prezent simplu) care se
pune inaintea subiectului = to have (conjugat la timpul prezent simplu) + subiect + participiul
verbului to be (forma a III-a => been) + forma de baza a verbului de conjugat (infinitivul scurt =
infinitivul fara to) + sufixul -ing
Ex.: Have you been reading the book? = Tu citeai cartea?
Has he been buying flowers? El cumpara flori?

UTILIZARE
Prezentul perfect continuu se foloseste pentru:
- o actiune care a inceput in trecut si continua pana in prezent
Ex.: He has been painting the house for three days. = El vopsea casa de trei zile.
- o actiune care a inceput si s-a terminat in trecut si care a durat ceva timp si al carei rezultat este
vizibil in prezent
Ex.: Theyre tired. They have been painting the garage door all morning = Ei sunt obositi. Ei au vopsit
usa garajului toata dimineata.
- a pune accent pe durata unei actiuni care a inceput in trecut si continua pana in prezent. Se
foloseste in special cu expresii de timp, precum: for, since, all morning/day/week etc.
Ex.: Sarah has been picking vegetables for two hours = Sarah culegea legume de doua ore..
- a exprima furia, deranjarea, supararea sau iritarea
Ex.: Who has been reading my business papers? = Cine mi-a citit documentele de afaceri?.

OBSERVATII
- folosim present perfect simple in locul lui present perfect continuous cu verbe non-continue, precum:
know (= a sti), believe (=a crede), like (=a placea) etc.
Ex.: I have known Sharon since we were at school together NOT I have been knowing Sharon since we
were at school together.
- langa verbele live (=a trai), feel (=a simti), work (=a munci) si teach (= a preda, a invata pe cineva)
putem sa folosim atat present perfect simple, cat si present perfect continuous fara nicio diferenta
de sens, inteles.
Ex.: He has lived here since 1994 = He has been living here since 1994 = El locuia aici din 1994.
