Hello!.
Present Perfect Tense .
I am sure you have all heard of the word 'Perfect 'doesn't it imply correctness and completeness ? Same way Perfect Tense implies that an action has been completed till the required level at the time of reference.Present Perfect Tense is heralded by the presence of the word 'has' or 'have'.
*The foretellers of Perfect Tenses are 'has','have'& had in general.simply 'has or have' tells you that it is present,'had' tells you that it is Past Tense and Future ?well 'Will or Shall + have'.
Examples of Present Perfect Tense:
1) a)Sizuka has baked a cake.(active)
b) A cake has been baked by Sizuka.
2)a)Nobita has hidden his test papers.
b)His test papers have been hidden by Nobita.(*since test papers are plural hence the use of 'have)
Present Perfect Continuous Tense.
As explained earlier '-ing' with Verb shows continuity of Tenses and 'has,have or had' show perfectness .Now since this Tense is 'Perfect continuous' so it should have both of the above mentioned identifiers.
i.e,'has,have or had + ing form of Verb'.
Now these Tenses are not applicable to all intransitive Verbs which usually denote short -lived actions like sneezing or smiling .These Tenses deal with the actions which continue for a fairly long duration and hence need to be followed by adverb phrases of time like 'since 8a.m'or 'for 8 hours 'etc.
to be continued.....
