Topic: Present Perfect and Present Perfect Continuous 19 November 2002

A few weeks ago, we discussed the use of the present perfect tense. If you can still
remember, the present perfect has a connection with the present or 'now'.

For example:
Have you seen my key? I seem to have lost it. I can't find it now.
It has rained a lot for the past few days.
Tony and Ann have known each other since the seventh grade. They have been friends for
10 years.

The present perfect continuous or progressive is similar to the present perfect simple. We
use the present perfect continuous to describe an action that began in the past and
continues to the present.

For example:
Terri is now living in London. He has been living in London for two years.
Ken has been studying in his room. He hasn't come out to eat his dinner yet.
Mike has been working hard on his science project. He won't leave the lab until he finishes
it.
I have been thinking about my future a lot lately.

We can also use the present perfect continuous to describe a complete action that was in
progress recently or lately.

For example:
It has been raining for two hours. The rain has stopped but the road is flooded now.
The dogs have been playing in the mud. Now they look dirty and need a shower.
They have been jogging in the park, so now they are tired.

The difference is that the present perfect simple focuses on the result of an action while
the present perfect continuous focuses on the activity.

For example:
It has been raining all day. It has rained four times this week.
Since Joe started his career as a writer, he has written three books. He has been working
for the same publishing company for five years.
Bob has been reading for a long time. He has read over 100 pages.
Many Thai students have been studying English since the first grade. They have learned
almost all about grammatical structure but they can't produce the language yet.
Where have you been? I have been waiting for you all morning.

Sometimes there is little or no difference between the two tenses.

We have lived here all our lives.

We have been living here all our lives.

Helen has taught at the same school for ten years.

Helen has been teaching at the same school for ten years.

Fred has worked hard in order to get promoted.

Fred has been working hard in order to get promoted.

The pattern of present perfect continuous is

have/has been + V-ing

KINDS OF ADVERBS

ADVERBS OF DEGREE

Adverbs of degree tell us about the intensity or degree of an action, an adjective or another adverb.

Common adverbs of degree:

Almost, nearly, quite, just, too, enough, hardly, scarcely, completely, very, extremely.

Adverbs of degree are usually placed:

1. before the adjective or adverb they are modifying:

e.g. The water was extremely cold.
2. before the main verb:
e.g. He was just leaving. She has almost finished.

Examples:

• She doesn't quite know what she'll do after university.

• They are completely exhausted from the trip.
• I am too tired to go out tonight.
• He hardly noticed what she was saying.

Enough, very, too

Enough as an adverb meaning 'to the necessary degree' goes after adjectives and adverbs.

Example:

• Is your coffee hot enough? (adjective)

• He didn't work hard enough. (adverb)

It also goes before nouns, and means 'as much as is necessary'. In this case it is not an adverb, but a 'determiner'.

Example:

• We have enough bread.

• They don't have enough food.

Too as an adverb meaning 'more than is necessary or useful' goes before adjectives and adverbs, e.g.

• This coffee is too hot. (adjective)

• He works too hard. (adverb)

Enough and too with adjectives can be followed by 'for someone/something'.

Example:

• The dress was big enough for me.

• She's not experienced enough for this job.
• The coffee was too hot for me.
• The dress was too small for her.

We can also use 'to + infinitive' after enough and too with adjectives/adverb.

Example:

• The coffee was too hot to drink.

• He didn't work hard enough to pass the exam.
• She's not old enough to get married.
• You're too young to have grandchildren!

Very goes before an adverb or adjective to make it stronger.

Example:

• The girl was very beautiful. (adjective)

 • He worked very quickly. (adverb)

If we want to make a negative form of an adjective or adverb, we can use a word of opposite meaning, or not very.

Example:

• The girl was ugly OR The girl was not very beautiful
• He worked slowly OR He didn't work very quickly.

BE CAREFUL! There is a big difference between too and very.

• Very expresses a fact:

He speaks very quickly.
• Too suggests there is a problem:
He speaks too quickly (for me to understand).

Other adverbs like very

These common adverbs are used like very and not very, and are listed in order of strength, from positive to negative:

extremely, especially, particularly, pretty, rather, quite, fairly, rather, not especially, not particularly.

Note: rather can be positive or negative, depending on the adjective or adverb that follows:

Positive: The teacher was rather nice.

Negative: The film was rather disappointing.

Note on inversion with negative adverbs:

Normally the subject goes before the verb:

SUBJECT VERB

I left
She goes

However, some negative adverbs can cause an inversion - the order is reversed and the verb goes before the subject

Example:

I have never seen such courage. Never have I seen such courage.

She rarely left the house. Rarely did she leave the house.

Negative inversion is used in writing, not in speaking.

Other adverbs and adverbial expressions that can be used like this:

seldom, scarcely, hardly, not only .....

but also, no sooner .....
than, not until, under no circumstances.
