b. We use the present perfect continuous:

• We often use for or since to say how long the action has been in progress.
They have been living in Paris for ten years.
2. for an action that has recently been in progress, and which explains the current
situation.
I’m hot because I have been running.
PRESENT PERFECT SIMPLE

 a. for completed actions.
