Focus: Grammar in action

Learn when to say 'I've been doing' (Present Perfect Continuous) and when to say 'I've done' (Present Perfect).

Step 1:

Watch the video lesson twice.

The second time, stop the video when you hear a good example sentence and write it in your own notes.

Step 2:

When you've finished the video lesson, download the Exercise PDF below and do the exercises.

Make sure you write complete sentences.

Step 3:

When you've finished the exercises, download the ZIP file below.

Use the Answer key PDF to check and correct your answers.

Then, use the Audio file to practise and master these two tenses through two listening activities:

Activity 1: Listen & write (or type) each correct answer.

Activity 2: Listen & repeat each correct answer out loud several times without looking at the text.

Remember to look up the new words in an English-English dictionary first.

Only use a bilingual dictionary if the English definition isn’t clear for you. 

Step 4:

When you feel you've fully mastered the material in this lesson, take the quiz.

You need to get a minimum score of 80% in each quiz to receive your Certificate of Completion, so repeat the quiz until you score above 80%. You can take each quiz up to 10 times.
