hi do you have difficulty distinguishing when to use the present perfect the
present perfect continuous and the simple past
this is Susan Brodar from SPEAK Languages & TRAVEL the World here to
help you improve your English with minimum effort maximum benefits and
because these three tenses are quite complicated I thought the best thing to
do is to not only explain it that gives you lots and lots of examples after
which you could write many more examples in the comments below and maybe even
correct each other so that everyone learns from these so let's see if I say
how long have you been playing the piano I've used the present perfect continuous
and it means that I started playing the piano a long time ago but I'm still
playing the piano when did you start playing the piano well that's a simple
past and it means that I started in a past period which doesn't exist anymore
and I could say well I started when I was 10 using the simple past so instead
if you ask how long did you play the piano it's again a simple past because
it implies that you don't play the piano anymore so how long have you been
playing it means you're still playing how long did you play it means that
you're not playing it anymore that's the first distinction if you say I played
the piano for many years it means you don't do it anymore
whilst I've been playing the piano for many years means you still do it some
verbs don't have an in-form so if I say how long have you had this car for or
how long have you had this car both are correct it implies that you still have
the car and you got it a while ago you cannot say how long have you been
having this car so not all verbs have the in form but you can say how long
have you been living in this city for example and you can also say how long
have you lived in this city are correct so in some cases you can use
both I've been living here for a long time or I've lived here since I was a
child and both are absolutely correct instead if you say I lived here but now
I've moved away it means yes that I've come back maybe to visit someone but I
don't live here anymore let's try some other examples so if I ask you have you
read any books recently that's a present perfect and it means the fact that
you've used recently automatically implies you should use the present
perfect it means that you've you started the book recently and I presume when I
asked you have you read any books that you've also finished reading the book
whilst have you been reading any books recently means that you've been spending
your time we think you may have finished you may not have finished it's really
not important because I'm just interested in your activity of reading
so have you been reading any books recently yes I've been reading a lot of
biographies in fact I've already finished reading three but I'm reading
one at the moment as well now I gave you an example with I've finished reading
three I could have said yes I've just finished that would already have been
correct why did I use reading after finished well finishes one of those
verbs that is followed by an ink form such as a start and stop a begin and
finish okay let's see if we can think of any other examples and don't forget to
write some examples of yourself have you been doing any sport recently yes
I've been jogging every day which means I've been doing it and probably I'm
still doing it every day you could also say yes I jogged for a
long time but using the simple past means that you don't do it anymore
I've stopped jogging because my knees hurt
have you been watching any films lately yes I've been watching all kinds of
horror films is the present continuous because it's something that's been
occupying your time at you're probably going to carry on doing it instead if
you say I watched a lot of horror films it means that you're not doing it
anymore but you did it for a period and I've watched a lot of horror films but
now I'm fed up I don't like them anymore that's with the present perfect so I've
been watching means I started watching and I'm still watching I watched means I
did it and I don't do it anymore and I've watched means that I've seen a lot
of these films but I'm probably not doing it anymore this happened to me as
a child I used to watch I used to watch westerns and I loved them I watched them
every day and I am particularly there was one called The Virginian and I
really loved it I watched I think so many of these westerns that I got
indigestion and now I can't see a Western film not even if you pay me but
I used to watch a lot so I could say I've watched a lot of westerns in my
life I watched a lot when I was a child but I haven't watched any since and I
don't think I will either okay so please subscribe please write in the comments
below some examples and I hope to see you in the next video bye
