Progressive und Continous < Grammatik < Englisch < Sprachen < Vorhilfe
|
Hallo,
ich verstehe den Unterschied nicht zwischen Progressive und Continous.
z.B. I have been working for 2 hours - Present Perfekt Progressive, ich arbeite immer noch.
Prorgressive gilt aber anscheinend (lt. Schulbuch..) auch wenn die Handlung schon abgeschlossen ist.
Evtl. kann mir das kurz jemand erläutern anhand des Present Perfekt Models. Danke.

Hi Janine,
1.) We often use the present perfect progressive to talk about actions continuing up to now, especially when we say how long they have lasted.
e.g.: I have been working for two hours.
It has been snowing since Tuesday.
2.) We can also use the present perfect progressive to talk about long or repeated actions that have finished recently (did your school book mean that? ) and which have present results .
e.g.: 'You look hot.' - ' Yes, I've been running'.
3.) To talk about recent long actions and situations:
the present perfect progressive looks at the continuing situation itself ; the present perfect simple says that sth is completed or achieved .
e.g. I've been playing a lot of tennis recently.
I've played tennis three times this week.
--> use simple present perfect to say how often sth has happened (because of the idea of completion)
