📝 Trucos para el Present Perfect y el Present Perfect Continuous
1. Recuerda que el Present Perfect se utiliza para hablar de acciones que han ocurrido en el pasado pero que tienen una conexión con el presente. Para formarlo, utiliza el auxiliar «have/has» seguido del verbo en participio pasado. Por ejemplo: «I have studied English for three years» (He estudiado inglés por tres años).
2. El Present Perfect Continuous se utiliza para hablar de acciones que han estado ocurriendo en el pasado y continúan en el presente. Para formarlo, utiliza el auxiliar «have/has been» seguido del verbo en gerundio (terminación -ing). Por ejemplo: «She has been working on this project all week» (Ella ha estado trabajando en este proyecto toda la semana).
3. Ten en cuenta que en el Present Perfect Continuous, se hace énfasis en la duración de la acción, mientras que en el Present Perfect, se enfoca en el resultado o consecuencia de la acción. Por ejemplo, «I have been studying English» (He estado estudiando inglés) indica que aún estoy en proceso de estudio, mientras que «I have studied English» (He estudiado inglés) indica que he terminado de estudiar.
