present perfect continuous present perfect simple

hi in today's lesson we're going to be learning about the present perfect

continuous you're going to learn how and when to use it and most importantly how

it differs from the present perfect simple keep watching until the end as

there'll be some exercises to see how much you've learned so let's get started

firstly let's remind ourselves of the form of the two tenses the present

perfect continuous is formed with have or has plus being plus the Inc form of

the verb for the present perfect simple we use either have or has plus the past

participle now let's look at when to use the two tenses there are similarities

between the present perfect continuous and the present perfect simple most

importantly they both link the past to the present

both the present perfect continuous and the present perfect simple are used to

describe events which started in the past and have continued up to the

present or are activities which have stopped recently so how do you know when

to use the present perfect continuous and when to use the present perfect

simple let's look at the differences between them the most important

difference is that the present perfect continuous is used when we want to focus

on the unfinished activity so let's look at a timeline here we have now and this

is the past so I've been fixing the car and that's why I'm dirty the action

started in the past and is unfinished whereas we used the present perfect

simple to focus on the finished result I fixed the car on the timeline we can see

that the action started in the past is complete and has an impact on the

present it means I finished fixing it and can now do something else we are

focusing on the result or I have been decorating the sitting room that's why

I'm still in my overalls we are using the present perfect continuous because

we want to focus on the unfinished action the decorating whereas if you use

the present perfect simple and say I've painted the sitting room blue here

you're focusing on the result the sitting room is now

the activity is finished and we can see the result the present perfect

continuous suggests that something is unfinished whereas the present perfect

simple gives the idea of completion another example would be I've been

reading that book that you lent me I've got one more chapter to read whereas if

we use the present perfect simple we'd say I've read that book you lent me

I finished it yesterday the present perfect continuous emphasizes the

unfinished action in other words you've not finished reading the book whereas

the present perfect simple and precise is the finished result you've read the

book but you finished it yesterday secondly we use the present perfect

continuous to talk about how long something has been happening for example

I've been learning English for five years so this is how long it's been

going on it's a continuing a duration so we use the present perfect continuous

whereas the present perfect simple tells you how much of an activity is complete

for instance she's answered ten emails this is implying also that these emails

are completed is a finished action we also use the present perfect continuous

when we want to emphasize that something is happening over a period of unfinished

time for example my English teacher says my English has been improving since I

started reading in English whereas we use the present perfect simple to talk

about how often or how many times something has happened I've called

several times today but she hasn't answered the phone we can also use the

present perfect continuous to show that something is temporary so for example I

usually work in London but I've been working in Birmingham for the last four

weeks whereas the present perfect simple is used to talk about how long when we

view something as permanent so I've worked here for 30 years in your mind

you're seeing that as a long-term love it states so also there are some verbs

that beacon that can be used with either the present perfect continuous or the

present perfect simple with little difference in meaning these verbs are

usually verbs that describe activities which normally happen over a period of

time so for instance live study wait work these all happen over a period of

time they're not completed in a short time for example Martin has been working

in England for two years is very similar to saying Martin has

worked in England for two years they mean the same and yet we could use

either tense so let's recap remember the present perfect continuous is used to

focus on the unfinished activity and the present perfect simple is used to focus

on the finished result secondly we use the present perfect continuous to talk

about how long something has been happening and the present perfect simple

tells you how much of an activity is complete thirdly we use the present

perfect continuous where we want to emphasize something happening over a

period of unfinished time whereas the present perfect simple is used to talk

about how often or how many times something has happened and lastly we can

use the present perfect continuous to show that something is temporary whereas

the present perfect simple is to talk about how long when we view something as

permanent so now it's your turn complete the gap with the verb in either

the present perfect continuous or the present perfect simple one I blank

friends so I haven't spoken to my mum yet today I have been visiting here

we're focusing on the action visiting so we used the present perfect continuous

to my mum blank me to tidy my room several times house us the present

perfect simple is used to say how many times something has happened

three I blank the kitchen so what would you like me to clean next

have cleaned here we use the present perfect simple as we're focusing on the

finished result it's a completed action you've finished

screen in the kitchen for our neighbor blank the drums for the last three hours

and it's driving me crazy here we're talking about how long something is has

been happening so we use the present perfect continuous our neighbor has been

playing the drums fine congratulations you blank the exam with really high

marks have passed here we use the present perfect simple because we're

talking about a finished result and congratulations to you guys too you now

The simple beauty of translated Mandarin | Uncle's Shorts #6 - Duration: 1:58.

Mandarin is a famously difficult language to learn for English speakers

the State Department rates it as a level three

the tones are hard to hear and

hard to pronounce and characters are way more difficult than an alphabet to read

and to write for me anyway but all that aside there's actually a beautiful

simplicity to the Putong Hua, the common tongue

there's no plurals, there's no articles, no verb conjugations, in a sentence you

can just pile action after action 我想出去看瀑布

I want ... go ... see waterfall

When Chinese speakers translate their thoughts into English

there's a tendency to turn that simplicity into a poetry that I really enjoy

our students at Tianfu middle school would tell us all kinds of things

about their life: "I am but a common boy ..." "each year China wears a new face"

"because you are my friend, I must tell you something: today is my birthday" I love it

isn't that wonderful? even this tea on the menu it's described

as a "riot of fruit tea" it's just normal fruit juice but who wouldn't want to

drink something so marvelous

Trump Can Shut Down Robert Mueller With One Simple Move - Duration: 13:29.

Trump Can Shut Down Robert Mueller With One Simple Move

The corruption surrounding Robert Mueller's Russia investigation is reaching a critical

mass.

It's an illegitimate investigation that has perverted our justice system in an outrageous

attempt to nullify the votes of the 2016 election.

But Donald Trump could shut Mueller down with one devastating move.

Mueller's big "get" in this case was former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn

pleading guilty to making false statements to the FBI.

Pundits believe Mueller offered Flynn a sweetheart deal in exchange for spilling the beans on

his tenure as National Security Advisor.

Mueller is expected to try and make the case that Trump obstructed justice and that Congress

should impeach him.

But Trump can end this farce with one move.

He can pardon Flynn.

Trump told reporters he isn't yet considering a pardon, but his answer leaves the door open

on a future move to shut the out-of-control Mueller down.

The Daily Mail reports:

'I don't want to talk about pardons with Michael Flynn yet.

We'll see what happens,' the president said as he left the White House for a speech

to FBI agents in Virginia.

'When you look at what's going on with the FBI and the Justice Department, people

are very, very angry,' he added.

Trump also threw a jab at the Justice Department for clearing Hillary Clinton in the case of

her mishandling of classified information on a private email server.

That declaration came in the context of a question about whether his campaign colluded

with Russia to tilt the 2016 election in his favor.

'They found tremendous things on the other side,' he said.

'When you look at the Hillary Clinton investigation, it was – I've been saying for a long time

– that was a rigged system, folks.

That was a rigged system.

'When you look at what they did with respect to the Hillary Clinton investigation, it was

rigged.

And there's never been anything like it in this country that we've ever found before.

It's very, very sad.

Very, very sad.'

There is precedent for this.

In 1992, George H.W. Bush pardoned former Secretary of Defense Casper Weinberger and

five others.

That move ended the ridiculous six year investigation into the Iran-Contra affair.

Do you believe Trump should pardon Flynn and end the Mueller probe once-and-for-all?

Samsung Galaxy S9 price crash - The simple way to save £100 on a this smartphone - Duration: 3:54.

Samsung Galaxy S9 price crash - The simple way to save £100 on a this smartphone The Samsung Galaxy S9 has only been out since March 16th and already it's been given a price cut with a decent £100 taken off.

You can now grab a Samsung Galaxy S9 for the cut price of £639.95, as opposed to the previous £739 amount. The £100 saving was spotted by Tech Radar, which says this is by far the cheapest that any trusted retailer has been able to sell the handset for so far.

The deal, on Direct Mobiles, applies to the Samsung Galaxy S9 in Midnight Black only. Since the phone comes as SIM free you'll be able to load it up with any SIM you pick from the various network options. This is a way to avoid locked in annual contracts where you pay monthly for the network and phone. If you want to opt for a contract option you can save £300 with a deal like this.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 is currently one of the best smartphones out there right now, taking on the likes of the Apple iPhone X and Huawei P20 Pro. This price is a considerable saving but it might be required to maintain sales as the rumoured OnePlus 6 is due to bring top-end specs for a rumoured low £500.

For the price you get Samsung's famous Infinity Display which runs edge to edge keeping the bezel to a minimum across the 5.8-inch screen. Samsung, as a screen manufacturer, delivers an outstanding picture on the Super AMOLED screen with a high resolution at 2,960 x 1,440 for 570 ppi.

The S9 also packs in the latest Super Slow-mo video feature which can record and playback at 960 frames per second. The 12MP camera is also able to offer Selective Focus on photos for that blurred background effect that's so popular.

Another feature is the inclusion of Samsung's AR emojies. Using its clever front-facing camera, you can make and send new animated versions of yourself.

AR Emojis use a data-based machine learning algorithm, which analyses a 2D image of the user and maps out more than 100 facial features to create a 3D model that reflects and imitates expressions, like winks and nods, for true personalisation. The Galaxy S9 is also fast with a 10nm 64-bit octa-core processor backed by 4GB of RAM and comes with an all-day capable 3,000 mAh battery and wireless charging.

Everything is encased in an IP68 build meaning the phone can be under 1.5 metres of water for up to half an hour without damage. Read more on the Samsung Galaxy S9 and the even more impressive S9+ on our story hub here.
