Jeongsook Present Perfect Simple or Continuous? 0 Apr 28 2008, 3:33 PM EDT by Jeongsook

We use the present perfect progressive tense instead of present perfect with the following types of activities:
2. Temporary rather than permanent.
3. Repeated rather than a single occurrence.
4. Continuous rather than repeated or recurring.
5. Uncompleted rather than completed.
Nonprogressive verbs do not occur with the progressive aspect even when they refer to continuous states.
