English Grammar Lesson: Present Perfect Continuous - By Smrt English
Transcript
| 00:03 | in this video , we are going to look at | |
| 00:04 | the present perfect continuous . Now , with the present | |
| 00:08 | perfect continuous , we can also use it to explain | |
| 00:11 | the present . It is a little bit different to | |
| 00:14 | present . Perfect simple now with present perfect simple . | |
| 00:17 | We focus on the completion of the action which can | |
| 00:21 | explain the present . But with the present perfect continuous | |
| 00:24 | , we only focus on the duration of the action | |
| 00:27 | . So whether the action has finished or not is | |
| 00:29 | an important . It's just the action before that explains | |
| 00:33 | now . So some examples for you I'm crying because | |
| 00:37 | I have bean cutting onions . The cutting of the | |
| 00:40 | onions has made me cry . Whether I finished or | |
| 00:43 | not , it's not important . My shoes are wet | |
| 00:46 | because I have bean washing the car so you can | |
| 00:49 | take a look at those examples now , often with | |
| 00:52 | the present perfect , continuous and simple . Both are | |
| 00:56 | possible , especially with your dynamic verbs . It just | |
| 01:00 | depends on where your focuses . So we're going to | |
| 01:02 | look at some examples , using both so that you | |
| 01:04 | can see the differences . So I could say Why | |
| 01:07 | is the car clean ? I could say , because | |
| 01:10 | I have washed it , meaning I finished washing or | |
| 01:13 | because I have bean washing it . Okay , Maybe | |
| 01:16 | you asked me in the middle . Okay . Another | |
| 01:20 | example . Why don't you have any money ? I | |
| 01:24 | could say , because I have spent it or because | |
| 01:26 | I have bean spending it . Now , if you | |
| 01:29 | say because I have spent it , it sounds like | |
| 01:32 | you've spent all of your money . There's nothing left | |
| 01:34 | . Whereas I have bean spending . I've spent a | |
| 01:37 | lot , but maybe I have some left . Okay | |
| 01:39 | ? Another example . Why is the living room so | |
| 01:43 | dirty ? Because we have had a party or because | |
| 01:47 | we have being having a party . So the same | |
| 01:49 | rules apply there . Um , sometimes there is a | |
| 01:54 | clear difference . Eso one example would be Why are | |
| 01:57 | you not smoking now ? I really want to emphasize | |
| 02:01 | that I stopped smoking , that I'm no longer smoking | |
| 02:03 | , so I would use this simple . So I | |
| 02:06 | have quit if I said I have bean quitting . | |
| 02:09 | It sounds like I haven't quite finished yet . Um | |
| 02:12 | , so there's an example of a clear difference between | |
| 02:15 | the two . I hope you enjoyed the video and | |
| 02:17 | I'll see you next time |
