1. talk about an activity which started in the past and is still going on now:
He has been working here for three years. He started working in McCarthy's in 2003 and now (in 2006) he's still working there.
She' s been living in London since 2000.
2. talk about a past activity which has a result in the present:
Have you been decorating? Your clothes are covered in paint!
He 's been working all day so he is tired now.
The present perfect continuous has o parts - the main verb and the auxiliary verbs.,
The form - the main verb:（句型 - 主要动词）,He has been thinking about it for ages.
She's been driving since 4 o'clock.
In these examples, the main verbs are 'to think and 'to drive'. In the present perfect continuous, we use the present participle form of the main verb (ing).,
The form - the auxiliary verbs:（句型 - 助动词）,The auxiliary verbs are 'to have ' + ' to be'. When we make the present perfect continuous we use the present simple form of 'to have' + been:
I/you/we/they have been ...
he/she/it has been ...
The 'have' form is often shortened to: I 've , she 's , we 've , etc.
He 's been learning English for six months.
They' ve been looking for a house for months.
We use the auxiliaries to make negatives, questions and use only the 'have' auxiliary in short answers.
I haven't been living here long.
Has she been watching TV all morning?
Yes, she has.
No, she hasn't.,
For and since:（表时间介词）,For and since are often used with the present perfect and present perfect continuous. We use for when we're talking about a period of time and since when we mention the start of a period of time.

Stative verbs:（静态动词）,Stative (or state) verbs describe states (things that don't change easily or quickly, for example, what you believe, think or own) rather than actions (jump, talk or buy). These verbs are not normally used in the continuous form (ing). For example:
I've been interested in merce ever since I was young.
She hasn't believed in Santa Clause for 20 years.,For information about the stative verbs, see language point in episode – Another Round.
