[Spoken Intro] Hoy vamos a aprender Present Perfect Progressive. Lo usamos para hablar de una actividad que empezó antes y todavía continúa ahora… o que ha estado pasando recientemente. La estructura es: I have been working. He has been studying. She has been practicing. HAVE BEEN con I, you, we, they. HAS BEEN con he y she. Y después… verb plus I-N-G. I have been studying. Ready? [Verse 1] I have been studying English for two hours. He estado estudiando inglés por dos horas. I started before, and I’m still studying now. Empecé antes y todavía continúo. I have been working since eight, he estado trabajando desde las ocho. FOR tells us how long. For two hours. For three days. For six months. SINCE tells us when it started. Since eight. Since Monday. Since January. [Chorus] I HAVE BEEN STUDYING! For two hours! I HAVE BEEN WORKING! Since eight! He HAS BEEN PRACTICING! All week! She HAS BEEN LEARNING! Every day! Started before… continues today! HAVE BEEN! HAS BEEN! Verb plus I-N-G! That’s how we talk about activity and time! [Verse 2] What have you been doing lately? ¿Qué has estado haciendo últimamente? I have been going to the gym, he estado yendo al gimnasio. I have been looking for a new job, he estado buscando un nuevo trabajo. I have been saving money, he estado ahorrando dinero. I have been practicing my English, he estado practicando mi inglés. Lately… últimamente. Recently… recientemente. These activities may continue now. Daniel has been looking for a job for three weeks. Sofia has been studying for an exam since Monday. He has been sending résumés. She has been practicing every night. That’s real life. [Chorus] What have you BEEN DOING? I have been WORKING! How long? For two hours! What has he BEEN DOING? He has been STUDYING! Since when? Since Monday! HAVE BEEN! HAS BEEN! Activity plus time! Tell me what has been happening in your life!
