I have studied English
I have been
Are these sentences the same or are they different
What's finder
Everyone my name is west this is interactive English and the channel is all about
Trying to help you practice
Improve
English
Today I want to help you improve your grammar
Because I want to talk about
The difference between
Tuva
What's the present perfect tense in the present
Continuous
And these two verb tenses can confuse many English learn
Who may not be sure about
How and when to use them
Wellers if there any
Between the
So before we talk about the differences
Tweenies
Tenses I want to focus on
How and when we use
Let's first begin with the
Perfect 10 switch on its own
Can be very
Confusing because there are many languages
April
So I want to first begin with how your go
24
The present perfect
You're going to have a helping verb
Andamane
The Helping verb is going
Have in the main verb is going
To be the passport
And we often use the present perfect
To talk about
Finished action
In the past
Add an unspecified time we don't know when
It's happened
It may have happened once or
More than
So let's look at this sentence right here
Adventist
Again we have the helping
Have
Plus
Past participle verb in it is the past participle of the verb
To be and you know that this happened in the past
It's finished
But you don't know
Unspecified
I've been to China or I can say what I've been to Barcelona
Quite
This happened in the
We don't know when
But we know that it happened more than
What's the word to
Trips to Barcelona
One thing that I want to say
About the present perfect tense is there when you use it
The result is really wet
It's like you're more interested in the result
Then the act
And I will come back to this when I talk to you about
The present
Continuous
What's what's think of this situation right here I'll use a question inside
Have you hit the like button
Alright this is a question in the
Perfect
The Helping for the past participle
That's our main verb
Have you got the light button in again
I'm really more interested
Result and I really am and I hope you would
Yes
I have hit the like button
It happened in the past sometime
Between when the video Started in right now and if you have let me know right that to me in the common
Yes
Hit the Lights
Practice writing using the present perfect and then I will tell you
That you are
So with all of those exams
What's the I just gave you we were talking about
Finished action
So let's no move to the prayer
Continue
Let's look at how this verse
Tenses
Again we're going to use the helping
Plus the past participle of the verb to be
Justbet
Have been
Plus our main verb with an ing at the end
Like we have to help
Have they
And then
And we use the present
Continue
To talk about in unfinished action
That started in the past
It has continued to right now
The present and then it will like
Continue into the
So I could say well
Right now I've been teaching This Love
It's an Unfinished action it's started in the past it has continued and so right now
It's going to continue into the future
And I hope
Keep watching the one thing that I will say about the
The perfect continuous is that when you use this word
Focus
Is more
Because
Something is
Continuance
With the present perfect tense
The Focuses on the result
Present
Continuous
The focus is more
One thing that I want to remind you
The reason why I'm so close it's because I want you to remember
Is there are many non action verbs
There that you should know
Use in the continue
Tense and I'm putting a list of these birds
Hope you're right now
So you should not use these verbs
With the prayer
Continuous
Again
English
People are always breaking these rules especially
In spoken English produced to give you an exam
The if I give you a sentence like out I have
I'm talking about
Ownership
Possession
I could use it in the present perfect tense since I've had an iPhone
Timer
Can iPhone 6
Pretty off
But I could not use it in the continuous tense
Having
An iPhone
Awkward so
In mind there are many non action verbs
That you should just avoid
Using
So now let's look at some different
Between the prayer
Perfect tense and the pressure
Continue
And I want to make some quick comparison so you can see a clear difference between these two verb tense
Especially how the focus
So let's look at these two sentences right here we
We decorated our home and we have been
The sentence in the present
We have redecorated our home
It's talking about an action that started in the past
Innit
What fish we don't know when it started we don't know when it ends
But the focus
Is on there
Results
Yes
It's fine
The hole
With the present perfect continuous were talking about in unfinished action it's starting in pass
It's still going on right now so the focus is on
Action
Continuing
Also in this may help you know when you should use
What's the present for
It was talking about in unfinished action that started in the rear
Past
People may use this verb tense with the word
Recent
Wordsley
So I could say well recently we've been redecorating her
Lately we've been redecorating her
That tells me that this action is started in the recent
It's a continuing action that's got on till now
India
Here are another couple of sentences
I have thought about bye
New phone
I've been thinking
Paying
So with the present perfect it's suggested
Ok I thought about this in the past
And then maybe I decided well no not too
A new phone it's just something I thought about in the night
Thinking about
And as you can see I still have this old iPhone 6
And maybe I just made the decision
If I use the present perfect
Continuous and say well I've been thinking about buying
New phone that that suggest that I have not made a decision
Yep I'm sure
Thinking about it in maybe
Maybe in the future I'm going to make a decision
An upgrade and get a new phone because
IPhone 6
And then we get to these two sentences right here the sentences that you have been waiting for The Saint
I have studied English
Vs
I have been stuck
In English
In the difference between these two sentences is
Or pretty much nothing
Because their energy
You can use them
And basically mean the same thing because with both of these sentences
We're talking about in unfinished action and I know
This can be a bit confusing because you're probably thinking like weirdo
You told us
The present perfect tense is used to talk
Finished actions at an unspecified time
In the past yes that is true
You can also use the present
Big tents to talk
About an Unfinished action that started in the past
And it's gone on for a duration of time or since April
Those are two keywords that are really wants you to remember and be aware
Because we often use the present perfect
With those were
Or incense so I could say
I have studied English
4
3 years
A duration of time or I could say I've studied English since 2018
Both of those sentence
Mean the exact same thing
The only difference is 4
I could also say this using the Press
Perfect continuous I've been studying English
For 3 years we've been studying English since
2018 so somebody would ask
How long have you been learning English
You could respond with any one of those sentences
Naturally your
There's not much
There is
There is very slight difference of course I didn't want to
I don't want to disappoint you I want to really get it
Details here so I was saving it
For the very end
Little let's talk about the slight differences right now which is going to help you
Naturally improve your
Apprehension
You're over
So the good news
Is there when the present perfect in the present perfect
Continuous are basically interchangeable and they pretty much mean the
Thanks what really talking about a handful of herbs
We're talking about
The verbs like
Teach
Play learn study
Work
So those are five verbs
Then when you're using either verb tense
The fairly interchangeable in the main the
There may be a slight difference in
A certain context
Situation
Maybe more proper
To use one
The other side
Let's look at these sentences
We've lived in Budapest for 4 years
And we've been living in Budapest since
Just looking at them generally speaking the very similar
Pretty much the same you could use them interchangeably
What the
Maybe a slight difference
I'm talking about
The permanent vs
Tempeh
So let me give you a couple of other sentences that I think
Probably a little easier to understand when I talk
What's the difference
Contemporary
So you're more likely to you
Is the present
When when talking about an Unfinished action that
Permanent
And you're more likely to use the present
Continuous when you're talking about in unfinished action
That's perhaps
So I could say well I've worked for the company for 25 years
I'm using the present perfect it's unfinished because I still
The company in ennismore perm
It it makes you think well I'm not looking for a job
I'm not going to change jobs I'm just Giving
This information
I've worked for the company
5 years
If I save this then I usually work downtown
But I've been working at home ever since
In this case I'm I'm referring to an action that started in the past
Unfinished
Because I'm still working at
But it's only
It makes you think that in the future than perhaps are not going to be working at home anymore
I'm talking about
Temporary situation
Working at home
Ever since
So hopefully that makes it a little easier
How to understand the difference when I say Burma
Vs
Temporary and you could even apply this to other sentences that
You may use in a change of lease
Those two sent
That I told you I'm on the go
We have lived in Buda
For 4 years or we've been living in Budapest since
2070
In general you could use either
Again if you use the present
If I say we lived in Budapest since 2017
Then it's a more permanent situation it might make you think what we're not currently look
Ring to change the place that we live that were probably going to stay in
If I say using the present
Continuous the Focuses on the
The war still living here it's unfinished but it makes you think
Temporary
Because in the future
But that's going to
If the focus is on their action
In all likelihood that action is going to change in the future
In which case we would more move somewhere else
And that this is only temporary and if you would ask me I
I would say the second one
We've been living in Budapest
2017 because this is
Is probably not going to
Are permanent home in the future
So even though with those 50
Workplace
Live teach study
You can use the verb tenses interchangeable
You could
Need a little more
Information into it
If you want to think about whether something
Is going to
Or if something
I hope that this lesson was easy to follow and easy to understand
I know that I went I had tried to go into a fair bit
Detail
In in talking about this information so that you have a better understanding
To help you improve your comprehension but also
Your fluency as well
If you are talking to somebody
And you're trying to explain some
The you are going to you
Appropriate
Between the present
N
Continuous
