Уровень B1

Настоящее совершённое продолженное время — Present Perfect Continuous

The wall is half painted. She has been painting it.

Стена покрашена наполовину. Она продолжает её красить.

Смотри: The wall is half painted. She has been painting it. Действие началось раньше; has been painting — форма из трёх слов.

Формы

• The wall is half painted. She has been painting it. — has been и форма глагола на -ing для действия, которое началось раньше
• The letter is unfinished. She has been writing it. — те же три слова с другим глаголом
• The room is half clean. She has been cleaning it. — с he, she и it используется has

Типичная ошибка

Неверно: He has living there.

Верно: He has been living there.

Очень многие говорят He has living there, но среднего слова нет. Говорим: He has been living there.

Ещё примеры

The meal is half cooked. She has been cooking it.

Еда приготовлена наполовину. Она продолжает её готовить.

С готовкой так же: The meal is half cooked. She has been cooking it.

Она продолжает смотреть на дверь. Её работа не закончена.

И с наблюдением тоже: She has been watching the door. Her work is unfinished.
