Unit 10: Present Perfect Continuous and Simple (I have been doing and I have done)


A. Порівняння Present Perfect Continuous і Present Perfect Simple

1. Present Perfect Continuous (I have been doing)

Цей час фокусується на процесі або дії, яка:

  • ще триває;
  • щойно завершилася, але ми звертаємо увагу на сам процес, а не результат.

Приклади:

  • I’ve been painting my bedroom.
    (Я фарбував(-ла) свою спальню. Зараз у мене на одязі фарба.)
    Фокус на процесі фарбування, навіть якщо кімната ще не завершена.

  • My hands are very dirty. I’ve been repairing my bike.
    (Мої руки дуже брудні. Я ремонтував(-ла) велосипед.)
    Фокус на тому, що я був(-ла) зайнятий ремонтом, і результат видно зараз.


2. Present Perfect Simple (I have done)

Цей час фокусується на результаті завершеної дії.

Приклади:

  • I’ve painted my bedroom.
    (Я пофарбував(-ла) свою спальню. Тепер вона жовта.)
    Фокус на тому, що дія завершена, і ми бачимо результат.

  • My bike is OK again now. I’ve repaired it.
    (Мій велосипед знову в порядку. Я його відремонтував(-ла).)
    Фокус на результаті ремонту.


B. Як використовувати Present Perfect Continuous

1. Для опису дії, що триває

Present Perfect Continuous використовується, щоб показати, як довго триває дія:

Приклади:

  • How long have you been reading that book?
    (Як довго ти читаєш цю книгу?)
  • Amy has been writing emails all morning.
    (Емі писала електронні листи весь ранок.)
  • They’ve been playing tennis since 2 o’clock.
    (Вони грають у теніс із другої години.)

Ключові вирази:

  • How long…?
  • for (вказує тривалість часу).
  • since (вказує початок дії).

2. Для повторюваних дій

Present Perfect Continuous також використовується для повторюваних дій у певний період:

Приклади:

  • Joe has been eating too much recently. He should eat less.
    (Джо останнім часом їв занадто багато. Йому слід менше їсти.)
  • I’ve been meaning to phone Anna, but I keep forgetting.
    (Я збирався(-лась) зателефонувати Анні, але постійно забуваю.)

C. Як використовувати Present Perfect Simple

1. Для завершених дій

Present Perfect Simple використовується, щоб підкреслити результат дії, а не сам процес.

Приклади:

  • Somebody has eaten all the chocolates. The box is empty.
    (Хтось з’їв усі цукерки. Коробка порожня.)
  • I’ve finished repairing my bike.
    (Я закінчив(-ла) ремонт велосипеда.)

2. Для кількості, результату чи повторюваності

Ми використовуємо Present Perfect Simple, коли важливо сказати скільки, скільки разів або результат дії.

Приклади:

  • How many pages of that book have you read?
    (Скільки сторінок цієї книги ти прочитав(-ла)?)
  • They’ve played tennis three times this week.
    (Вони грали в теніс тричі цього тижня.)
  • Amy has sent lots of emails this morning.
    (Емі надіслала багато електронних листів сьогодні вранці.)

D. Порівняння Present Perfect Continuous і Simple

Present Perfect Continuous Present Perfect Simple
Фокус на процесі дії. Фокус на результаті дії.
I’ve been painting my bedroom. I’ve painted my bedroom.
We’ve been waiting for an hour. We’ve waited for an hour.
Використовується для опису тривалих дій або повторюваних дій. Використовується для опису завершених дій.

E. Дієслова, які не використовуються в Continuous

Деякі дієслова (наприклад, know, like, believe) зазвичай не вживаються у формах Continuous.

Приклади:

  • I’ve known about the problem for a long time.
    (Я знаю про проблему вже давно.)
    Не кажемо: I’ve been knowing.
  • How long have you had that camera?
    (Як довго у тебе є ця камера?)
    Не кажемо: How long have you been having that camera?

F. Ключові приклади

Ситуація Приклад
Фокус на процесі (Continuous) Why are you wet? Have you been swimming? (Чому ти мокрий(-а)? Ти плавав(-ла)?)
Фокус на результаті (Simple) I’ve cleaned the kitchen. It’s spotless now. (Я прибрав(-ла) кухню. Вона тепер бездоганна.)
Тривалість дії How long have you been learning English? (Як довго ти вчиш англійську?)
Кількість чи результат How many books have you read this year? (Скільки книг ти прочитав(-ла) цього року?)
