Present Perfect Continuous: perguntas de sim ou não

450 exercícios de lacuna, 45 testes de dez

Ponha have ou has na frente do sujeito. Been e a forma em -ing ficam juntos.

O padrão

Só o primeiro auxiliar se move:

You have been waiting. → Have you been waiting?

Been fica com a forma em -ing e nunca vai para a frente.

As respostas curtas usam have ou has

Has he been working? — Yes, he has. / No, he hasn’t.

Repetir a locução inteira está correto, mas é incomum.

Lendo as marcas

Um uso muito característico pergunta por uma causa que se pode ver:

• Have you been crying?
• Has it been raining?

Quem fala não está perguntando pelo passado em si — está perguntando o que explica o que está diante dos olhos.

Perguntando «quantos» em vez de «há quanto tempo»

Se você quer um número e não uma duração, passe para o Present Perfect simples:

• Have you been reading all morning? — sobre o tempo gasto.
• How many pages have you read? — sobre o resultado.
