She has been working here for almost a year now. Here is the verb read in all forms of the present perfect continuous. Examples: I have been washing the car. You haven't been watching that terrible soap opera again have you! Have you been sitting here waiting for long? Present Perfect Continuous Use We use the present perfect continuous to talk about an action that started in the past and is either still continuing or recently finshed. I have been reading that new book of mine all morning. We are more interested in the activity and cannot be sure from this sentence if the person has finished reading or not. We often use this tense to say how long something has been happening. I have been learning English for about five years. Present Perfect Simple or Continuous? Compare these sentences: I've been repairing the TV for hours.

Teenagers: Games Games make us laugh. We all like to laugh. Pleasure is very motivating.

Laughter raises blood pressure just long enough to increase oxygen and blood supply to tissues. If we find something funny, it is often memorable as it strikes a resonant chord within us.Many games are competitive and while I do not like the idea of making children feel like failures when they do not win, team games promote co-operation and if teams are regularly mixed up, everyone’s a winner.Some games rather than being amusing, encourage us to use our knowledge of the world around us rather than linguistic knowledge, which brings the world into our classroom.If lessons are long or daily we need to have plenty of variety, while still focussing on English language development – games provide variety.Games can be used as a ‘carrot’ with less motivated students.
