Present Perfect Continuous

The present perfect continuous is formed with have/has been and the -ing form of the verb. We normally use the present perfect continuous to emphasise that something is still continuing in the present: She has been living in Liverpool all her life. It's been raining for hours. I'm tired out. I've been working all day. They have been staying with us since last week. We do not normally use the present perfect continuous with stative verbs. We use the present perfect simple instead: I've always been liking liked John.
