Note: There's a mistake at 4:25. It should be "She's been living in Australia for seven years." Apologies for forgetting the preposition "in" and thanks to our viewers who pointed it out!
I have been watching ESL for 5 years and they always make me understand the grammar lessons ❤❤
Thanks for the great compliment!
She's been living *IN* Australia for seven years.

Hello!!! I have another question:
A: What have you been doing / done lately?
B: Not much. I've worked/ been worked with my father while I finish school.
I am trying to get my head around the present perfect progressive and present perfect, but I am still not sure when to use it. I hope your reply at this question as soon as possible. Thank you so much.
Hi again Helen, you can use either one depending on your focus. If you want to focus on the past to the present and not the future, use the present perfect.
A: What have you been up to lately?
B: Not much. I've completed a few projects with my father.
If you want to focus on an action that started in the past, continues to the present, and also will continue in the future, use the present perfect progressive. This is the more natural tense for the situation you used as an example.
A: What have you been doing lately?
B: Not much. I've been working with my father while finishing up school.
Hope that helps!
@@ellii lately is an adverb. I can use this adverb for present perfect progresive and present perfect ?
So good........
Thanks so much!

You're so welcome! ❤️

Excellent example!
Present perfect progressive is the same as the present perfect continuous, right?
It's exactly the same, yes! Generally speaking, the term "progressive" is more common in North American English and "continuous" is more common in the British English, but both terms are used in many places. Here's a blog post for more info: ellii.com/blog/progressive-vs-continuous-and-other-synonymous-grammatical-terms
What are some usage of present perfect progressive?
We use the present perfect progressive when we want to show an action started in the past, continues to the present, and will continue into the future. We have a great new video that explains it thoroughly: czcams.com/video/yjoUAsOn7-o/video.htmlsi=BwV-MzoabPFkqP7W
thanks, i understand very good, and im latino
Great!

we have already present perfect when we use it this and for what?
Great question! We're currently making a video called Present Perfect Vs. Present Perfect Progressive that will answer your question thoroughly. It will be uploaded to the site in about two weeks. You'll find it in this playlist if you miss it on your feed: czcams.com/play/PL0MvnNQjMzmYF0vNbBs_3p0rO13qhgv_N.html
My parents and I have been living in California for 3 years before moving.
If you use "before moving," it means you have already moved, so you would need the past perfect progressive: My parents and I had been living in California for 3 years before moving.
If you want to use the present perfect progressive, you can say something like this: My parents and I have been living in California for 3 years, but we are going to move soon.

We're happy to hear that!
Rain has been falling all night
Great example sentence!
I've been learning English for almost 3 years now but still I make grammar mistakes.
That's completely normal! Learning a new language takes a long time, but it's worth it. Keep up the great work!
I have lived in London for 5 years
I have been living in London for 5 years
What's the difference ?
Each of these can be beyond of the now time point
Great question! The meanings are very similar. The only difference is the focus on the future. In the first sentence (I have lived in London for five years), the focus is on the past to the present, and the future meaning is unclear. This sentence could mean that the speaker is moving tomorrow OR that the speaker will continue living there-we don't know and both are possible. In that sentence, the future meaning isn't important. With the second sentence (I have been living in London for five years), the focus is on the past to the present AND on the future. The future meaning is clear (and important) because this sentence means the speaker will definitely continue living in London. So while both these sentences CAN mean the same thing, the future meaning is only certain with the present perfect progressive. Hope that helps!
@@ellii thank you
@@senthiladm That's correct! Have lived = present perfect; have been living = present perfect progressive.
What type of sentence is "i have been to australli"
"I have been to Australia" is an example of the present perfect tense.
Pls mention the rule also
Which rule do you mean?
What about has been?
"Has been" can be used in both the present perfect and present perfect progressive tenses. In the present perfect tense, it's the third person singular present perfect form of the verb "to be." E.g., He has been a professor for five years.
In the present perfect progressive tense, it's the third person singular form for any verb when you add -ing at the end. E.g., She has been studying English for eight years. / My dog has been running around for the past hour.
Idk when i use have or has
The answer is at 1:43! But basically, use "has" when the subject is he, she, it, a singular countable noun, or an uncountable noun. Use "have" when the subject is you, we, they, or a plural count noun.
@@ellii thank you!
I don’t know when to say had and only 8 hours left till my exam starts:(
You wouldn't use "had" in the present perfect progressive tense. You could say "have had" or "has had" in the present perfect tense, but the present perfect progressive tense would only be "have been having" or "has been having," and it's rare to use "have" for a continuing (progressive) action. Try watching our video on the Present Perfect to help you. Good luck on your test!
@@ellii thanks❤️❤️
She’s been living Australia for thirteen years. This one has a mistake on it.
Great catch! We'll leave a pinned comment about it. Unfortunately CZcams won't let us update a video (besides reloading a new one).
Why is not thier why is her? 3:09
Is it singular or plural? I thought the letter s was for plural
I forgot that the letter s is an abbreviation for the word has
Hi, in this case, the speaker/writer knows that "the student" is a girl or woman who uses she/her pronouns. If the speaker didn't know, it's correct to use "their" for a singular gender-neutral pronoun. You can also use "their" for someone who you know uses they/them pronouns.
"The student has" or "the student's" is singular. "The students have" is the plural form.
thank you this helps a lot❤️🫶🏼
