EF 4th Ed INT Student's Book

This document provides an overview of the present perfect continuous and present perfect simple tenses in English. It explains that the present perfect continuous tense uses "have/has been + verb+ing" to describe actions that started in the past and have been ongoing up to the present. In contrast, the present perfect simple uses "have/has + past participle" to describe completed actions that occurred at unspecified times before the present. It then provides examples of sentences using these tenses, focusing on verbs like study, play, work, live, and wait.
