Present Perfect

Present Continuous

Subj + aux have + verb in past p + object We use the present perfect to talk about incomplete actions or situations that started in the past, but do not have a clear ending. We have reviewed several topics.

Subj + to be + verbing + object We use the present continuous to talk about ongoing actions. We are reviewing present simple. The teacher is showing some slides..

VS

Present Perfect Continuous

Present perfect continuous is a mix between present continuous and present perfect simple. Subj + aux have + been + verbing + obj It is used to talk about actions that started in the past and have been continous to the present. We have been studying English for two months. I have been teaching English for 14 years.

Be careful

States verbs such as: appear. believe. belong. consider. consist. contain. cost. can't go in the continuous form. For these verbs, you must use present perfect. If an action is too quick, you shouldn't use present perfect continuous: He has been having an accident. (incorrect) He has had an accident. (correct)

Let's play a game!

Let's kill a dragon.
