Penggunaan

Kapan kita menggunakan present perfect continuous tense?

Kita menggunakan Present perfect continuous untuk menyatakan tindakan yang dimulai dimasa lalu dan masih berlanjut sampai sekarang (uncompleted action), biasanya menggunakan for dan since.

• For (selama) menunjukkan berapa lama tindakan itu telah berlangsung;
• Since (sejak) menunjukkan waktu dimulainya suatu tindakan dimasa lalu.

Contoh kalimat:

She has been washing clothes since 6 o'clock. (Sampai sekarang, dia masih menyuci baju.)

He has been teaching for two hours. (Dia masih mengajar sampai saat ini.)

They have been learning English since junior high school. (Sejak SMP, mereka masih belajar sampai sekarang.)

I have been working since 9 o'clock. (Saya masih bekerja sampai saat ini.)

He hasn't been playing football since last week. (Sampai sekarang dia belum bermain sepak bola.)

Perhatian! Ada beberapa kata kerja yang tidak bisa digunakan dalam bentuk continuous

Menurut Thomson dan Martinet (156: 1986), ada beberapa kata kerja yang tidak bisa digunakan dalam bentuk continuous antara lain:

be	know	hear
smell	taste	like/dislike
hate	want	need
love	belong	owe
own	possess	seem
believe	respect	understand

Maka present perfect lah yang digunakan. Kita lihat contoh berikut:

They have been being here for two hours: They have been here for two hours.

I have been knowing her since 2010: I have known her since 2010.

He has been understanding the explanation: He has understood the explanation.

She has been believing in her mother: She has believed in her mother.

Kita dapat menggantinya menjadi present perfect tense.
