The "present perfect continuous" is a time that is primarily used to refer to actions
that were initiated in the past and at present are being developed:
I have been
studying.
Yo he estado estudiando: quiere decir que empecé a estudiar en algún
momento del pasado y que en la actualidad sigo estudiando.
También se utiliza para acciones que se iniciaron en el pasado y que acaban de
finalizar: It is also used for actions that were initiated in the past and have just completed:
I have been waiting
for you.
Te he estado esperando: la espera comenzó en el pasado y acaba
de finalizar.
This latter use is similar to the "present perfect", as stated in the previous
lesson.
However, the "present perfect continuous"especially want to emphasize the
duration of the process.
I have been reading
for three hours.
He estado leyendo durante 3 horas: con esta forma del verbo quiero
enfatizar el periodo de 3 horas que le he dedicado a la lectura.
The "present perfect continuous" is formed with the
