Present Perfect Continuous
Tense ini digunakan untuk menjelaskan durasi suatu kejadian yang sudah dan masih sedang berlangsung sampai saat ini.
Kalau kamu sering bingung sama tense ini, mari kita bahasa bersama
Formula Present Perfect selalu pakai HAVE/HAS
Have: I, you, they, we
Has: She, he, it
Continuous selalu pakai BE + VERB-ING
tapi karena setelah have/has kita menggunakan verb 3, jadi pakai BEEN.
(+) S + have/has + been + verb-ing
She has been waiting for 30 minutes.
(-) S + have/has + not + been + verb-ing
They haven’t been watching the movie for an hour.
(?) Have/has + S + been + verb-ing
Have you been cleaning the room for the last hour?
Penggunaan
1. Durasi
Kunci present perfect continuous adalah durasi, alias menjawab pertanyaan “HOW LONG?” Jadi keterangan waktunya sering menggunakan FOR & SINCE.
For diikuti durasi How long have you been writing the essay? I have been writing the essay for 5 hours. Since diikuti waktu memulai How long has she been working here? She has been working here since 2020.
2. Recently
Lately Kadang kita gk selalu menyebutkan lama/durasi kegiatan kita, sehari-hari kita lebih sering bilang “belakangan ini/ baru-baru ini”. Nah kalau gak mau nyebutin durasinya, tinggal pake recently/lately.
What have you been doing lately?
Kamu ngapain aja belakangan ini?
Lately, I have been studying for a test.
Belakangan ini, aku belajar buat ujian.
Have you been exercising?
Kamu olahraga?
No, I haven’t been exercising recently.
Baru-baru ini sih enggak.
Additional info
1. Non-continuous verbs
Verb ini gk bisa digunakan pada continuous tenses. Biasanya, gk bisa dilihat saat dikerjakan:
be, want, own, have, love, hate. So, gunakan present perfect.
I have been owning the house since 2018
I have owned the house since 2018
2. Penempatan adverb
Kalau mau nambahin adverb seperti only, always, never, still, just, diletakkan setelah have/has.
They have only been here for 5 minutes but they have already finished their food.
Kalimat di atas adalah mix present perfect continuous & present perfect. See the difference?
Present Perfect lebih fokus ke SUDAH/BELUM & kalau sudah — BERAPA KALI?
– Have you cooked it?
– How many times have you cooked it?
Sedangkan Present Perfect Continuous fokus ke DURASI.
– How long have you been cooking?
