By Present perfect, Perfect progressive

PWe are printing an award for a teacher and it's not immediately obvious where the mistake is. He has provided guidance and service from August 2006 to August 2008, but we are printing the award before his term ends. Is it present perfect progressive (has/have been)?1. He has provided...

Hi Viceidol,Thus far we have examples of three tenses: simple present, present progressive, and present perfect progressive. As Philip says, the present progressive seems awkward with "I am wanting." I don't know if it's considered incorrect. The other two seem fine,...

You can use a specific time (yesterday, Monday, etc.) with the present perfect progressive as long as you've got 'since' or 'for' right before that specific time."She's been calling me since yesterday/Monday" or "She's been calling me for 48 hours...

Not quite.Light bulbs have been being stolen ..., as GG says. It's a bit awkward, so it's not used much, but there is no rule against it, and you will occasionally encounter it.We've been being bitten by mosquitoes all summer long.English has been being spoken more and more...

As I read the rule, it says, "for a specific time, use past tense." The doctor may have recently changed your prescreption, and "authorized" the new medicine, but that act of "giving" you the medicine took place at a specific time. On the other hand, the medicine...

Hi Ayman, just wingin' it on this one. WELCOME TO THE FORUMS ! ! It looks to me that transforming the present perfect progressive from active voice to passive voice comes out with the same result as doing it to the present perfect. That is, the progressive aspect of it seems to get lost...
