Learn English Grammar(lesson10)

 The past perfect continuous tense (also known as the past perfect progressive tense) shows that an action that started in the past continued until another time in history. The past perfect continuous tense is constructed using had been + the verb's present participle (root + -ing).

To indicate time, references “for” and “since” are used, and it describes when the action started and how long it continued in the past.

Sentence structure

Subject+had been+the verb's present participle (root + -ing)

Let's make sentences. 

•I had been walking around my house since morning.

•She had been working hard since her father passed away.

•They had been tolerating his cruelty for two years. 

•The police had been chasing the thief since yesterday.

To make a negative sentence, you need to add "not" after had like "had not been", or you can say and write "hadn't been."

•I hadn't been sleeping well for one week.

•They hadn't been taking care of health.

Now you make more sentences.

 The past indefinite tense, also known as simple past tense, indicates a finished or completed action that happened at a specific time in the past.

It means any work which we have completed in the past is described in past indefinite tense.

In an affirmative sentence, we use the second form of the verb

In negative sentences, we use the first form of the verb with "did not".

Learn English Grammar (lesson 7)

 The present perfect continuous tense is used to express the action which is started in the past and is continuing at the time of speaking. The present perfect continuous is also called the present perfect progressive tense.

Here is the structure of the present perfect continuous tense.

Subject+have been/has been+Verb(ing)+Since/For+Object

There are few points we need to understand must.

* How to use have been/has been????

  If the subject is I, We, They or any plural, we use "have been".

  If the subject is He, She, It or any singular noun, we use " has been".

  * How to use Since and For in present perfect continuous tense???

We use "For" to talk about a period, like for three hours, for two months, for one year. We use "since" to talk about a point in time like, since 9 o'clock, since 1st January, since Monday.

Now we make sentences for practising.

•I have been organising my books for three hours.

•We have been listening to the lecture for one hour.

•They have been trying to solve the puzzle since evening.

•He has been painting his picture for one month.

•The soldiers have been standing firm in the field since the war began.

* How to make a negative and interrogative sentence of present perfect continuous tense???

 To make a negative sentence, we add "not" in-between have been and has been, like 

 have not been or has not been.

 In short form, we can write and say 

 haven't been or hasn't been.

 To make an interrogative sentence, we put to have and has first in the sentence, then write the remaining sentence after.

 Start practising.

Affirmative: I have been living in this house for five years.

Negative: I haven't been living in this house for five years.

Interrogative: Have I been living in this house for five years??

The present perfect tense is used to indicate a connection between the present and the past. We discuss events that started in the past and completed at the moment of speaking. ... It is often used to suggest that a past action still affects something.

Present perfect tense structure

Keep in mind past participle means 3rd form of the verb.

Where do we use have and has????

With the subject, I, We, They and any plural we use Have and with He, She, It and any singular noun we use Has.
