Present perfect simple
We use the present perfect simple to talk about:
1 an experience in someone’s lifetime, without saying the exact time when the event occurred. What is significant is the actual experience, not when it happened.
I’ve seen the Jamarat Bridge.
2 recent events which have a result in the present.
She’s lost her bag. (She still hasn’t found it.)
3 actions or situations that began in the past but continue in the present.
Mark’s lived here for ten years. (= Mark started to live here ten years ago and he still lives here now.)
4 actions that finished very recently.
They’ve just had an accident.
Present perfect continuous
The present perfect continuous has basically the same meaning as the present perfect simple. However, we use the continuous when we want
to emphasize the process and duration of an action.
I’ve been studying in this school for more than five months.
For that reason, if an action is very short, we cannot use the continuous form.
I’ve been breaking the window.
We also use the continuous to emphasize that an action finished very recently or is incomplete.
I’ve been washing the dishes and my hands are wet because I only finished a second ago.
If we want to emphasize the completion and result of an action, or how many times an action happens, we must use the present perfect
simple.
I’ve painted my bedroom. (It’s finished.) I’ve read that book three times.
