➤ PRESENT PERFECT CONTINUOUS/PROGRESSIVE
Para escribir un verbo en 'present perfect continuous/progressive' se deben usar los auxiliares 'have'/'has' y 'been' + la forma '-ing' del verbo principal.
Hay que elegir el auxiliar 'have'/'has' según el sujeto de la oración:
• Sujeto: I, we, you, they ----------- Auxiliar: HAVE
• Sujeto: he, she, it ------------------- Auxiliar: HAS
En las oraciones afirmativas también se pueden usar las contracciones afirmativas:
• Sujeto: Contracción:
• I ---------------- I've
• he ------------- he's
• she ------------ she's
• it --------------- it's
• we ------------- we've
• you ------------ you've
• they ----------- they've
En las oraciones negativas se pueden usar las contracciones negativas:
• Sujeto: I, we, you, they ----------- Contracción: HAVEN'T
• Sujeto: he, she, it -------------------- Contracción: HASN'T
El auxiliar 'been' se mantiene invariable cualquiera sea el sujeto.
Estas son todas las estructuras:
➜ Present perfect continuous/progressive – Affirmative:
• Sujeto + auxiliar 'HAVE/HAS' + auxiliar 'BEEN' + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos
➜ Present perfect continuous/progressive – Negative:
• Sujeto + auxiliar 'HAVE/HAS' + 'NOT' + auxiliar 'BEEN' + forma '-ING' del verbo principal + complementos
