Для того, чтобы поставить глагол в форму времени Present Perfect Continuous, требуется вспомогательный глагол to be во времени Present Perfect и смысловой глагол с суффиксом -ing
To be во времени Present Perfect имеет две формы:
· Have been – 1 и 2 лицо ед. ч. и все формы мн. ч.
· Has been – 3 лицо ед. ч.
В вопросительном предложении вспомогательный глагол to have выносится на место перед подлежащим, а остальная часть сказуемого располагается после него:
I smell tobacco. Haveyou been smoking?
Я чувствую запах табака. Ты что, курил?
Hasshebeen using my car again?
Она опять пользовалась моей машиной?
В отрицательных предложениях за вспомогательным глаголом to haveследует отрицательная частица not:
It has not been snowing here since 1993.
Здесь не было снега с 1993 года.
