) Here is your English Lesson " Perfect tenses: simple or continuous? "
Tick the correct sentence in each pair.We use the simple aspect of tenses for actions which we think are:
● finished: I've done my homework. (the homework is finished)
● permanent: I've lived in England for 10 years. I've worked for this company for most of that time. (I think I will remain in England and continue to work for the same company)
We use the continuous aspect of tenses for actions which we think are:
● unfinished or in progress: I've been doing my homework. (it isn't finished yet)
● temporary: I've been living in England for six months. I've been working as an au pair: (1 think I will leave England one day - my job is temporary)
We use past perfect tenses to connect two past actions, and past perfect continuous when one event interrupts another:
I'd been waiting for twenty minutes when the bus arrived.
» The simple or continuous aspect applies across the entire tense system.
