Dear students , As I count our blessings this term, I'm especially thankful for the joy of knowing you all. As love bears all things, endures all things, it never fails, so I love you all. Love is patient, love is kind. It doesn't envy, it doesn't boast, it is not proud, but it keeps no record of wrongs. Love always protects, always trusts and always hopes.
Remember that what you learn with pleasure you never forget . I wish you all the best of luck and success.
Dear colleagues , Seeing much, suffering much, working much are the three pillars for both of language learning and teaching. I can tell you that I learn from you, and we all learn from the experiences of our colleagues. You should know that knowledge has no boundaries and it seeks the people with minds open so be tolerant and flexible to accept the different points of view, make the right choice and be yourself.

[has/have + been + present participle] Examples : You have been waiting here for two hours. Have you been waiting here for two hours? You have not been waiting here for two hours.
USE 1 Duration from the Past Until Now
We use the Present Perfect Continuous to show that something started in the past and has continued up until now. "For five minutes," "for two weeks," and "since Tuesday" are all durations which can be used with the Present Perfect Continuous. Examples:
They have been talking for the last hour. She has been working at that company for three years. What have you been doing for the last 30 minutes? James has been teaching at the university since June. We have been waiting here for over two hours! Why has Nancy not been taking her medicine for the last three days?
You can also use the Present Perfect Continuous WITHOUT a duration such as "for two weeks." Without the duration, the tense has a more general meaning of "lately." We often use the words "lately" or "recently" to emphasize this meaning. Examples: Recently, I have been feeling really tired. She has been watching too much television lately. Have you been exercising lately? Mary has been feeling a little depressed.
100
IMPORTANT
Remember that the Present Perfect Continuous has the meaning of "lately" or "recently." If you use the Present Perfect Continuous in a question such as "Have you been feeling alright?", it can suggest that the person looks sick or unhealthy. A question such as "Have you been smoking?" can suggest that you smell the smoke on the person. Using this tense in a question suggests you can see, smell, hear or feel the results of the action. It is possible to insult someone by using this tense incorrectly.
It is important to remember that Non-Continuous Verbs cannot be used in any continuous tenses. Also, certain non-continuous meanings for Mixed Verbs cannot be used in continuous tenses. Instead of using Present Perfect Continuous with these verbs, you must use Present Perfect. Examples : Sam has been having his car for two years. Not Correct Sam has had his car for two years. Correct
ADVERB PLACEMENT
The examples below show the placement for grammar adverbs such as: always, only, never, ever, still, just, etc. Examples: You have only been waiting here for one hour. Have you only been waiting here for one hour? The present perfect tense: ( have, has + P.P. ) 1. I ( just write ) two letters. 2. You ( ever see ) an elephant ? 3. I ( never see ) an elephant. 4. Ali ( study ) English for 6 years. 5. He ( work ) in Kuwait since 1986. 6. How many sh you ( catch ) so far ? 7. She ( already sell ) her car. 8. I ( not make ) up my mind yet. 9. They 9 not meet ) each other since the war. 10. He ( just break ) The World Record. The Present Perfect Continuous: ( have,has + been + v. +ing ) 1. The bus hasnt arrived yet. I ( wait ) for ages. 2. Our teacher ( teach ) us English since 1987. 3. She ( work ) with us since last May. 4. We ( learn English for seven years now. 5. The two armies ( ght ) all last month. 6.

Emphasis on completion or duration? Do you want to emphasise the completion of an action or its continuous course (how has somebody spent his time)?

(Meaning: homework is completed now.) That's how I have spent my time. It does not matter whether the homework is completed now.) Result or side effect? Do you want to express that a completed action led to a desired result or that the action had an unwanted side effect? Present Perfect Simple Present Perfect Progressive desired result unwanted side effect I have washed the car. (Result: The car is Why are you so wet? - I have been washing the car.

Permanent or temporary? If an action is still going on and we want to express that it is a permanent situation, we would usually use the Present Perfect Simple. For temporary situations, we would prefer the Present Perfect Progressive. This is not a rule, however, only a tendency. Present Perfect Simple Present Perfect Progressive Permanent Temporary James has lived in this town for 10 years. James has been living here for a year.

Inversions with "so", "neither" and "nor" When "so", "neither" and "nor" are used to make short agreements they are followed by an inversion. "I am not into hip hop." "Neither am I." (Or: "Nor am I.") "I am fond of flamenco dancing." "So am I." Inversions after negative adverbials There are some words and phrases that function as adverbials that sometimes need an inversion.
