How to form a present perfect continuous

To make a sentence with the present perfect continuous we use this form: -have/has+been+verb+ing- (affirmative form) Example: It has been snowing since Monday. For verbs ending in E, they lose the vocal, for example: -LIVE: I have been living here for quite some time now.

Affirmative form

As we said before, the affiramtive form of the present perfect continuous is: -subject+have/has+been+verb+ing- Example: I've been reading an interesting book.

Negative form

The negative form of the present perfect continuous is: -subject+not (haven't/hasn't)+been+verb+ing- Example: I haven't been listening to the news.

Interrogative form

The interrogative form of the present perfect continuous is: -have/has+subject+been+verb+ing+...+?- Example: Has she been talking about him?
