⏳ Horizon: How Long Have You Been…?

Coach Deniz arrives covered in paint and sawdust, and the crew turns detective. Learners assemble the three-part engine — have/has + been + verb-ing — then put it to work on its two jobs: measuring how long an ongoing activity has lasted (for, since, how long, lately) and explaining present evidence. They run how-long interviews, play the evidence-guessing game, and learn why state verbs like know, love and own refuse the continuous entirely.

  • Present perfect continuous form: have/has + been + verb-ing (She has been training since six)
  • Duration use with How long…?, for + a length of time and since + a starting point
  • Evidence use: recent activity explains a present result — Why are you muddy? I’ve been digging
  • State verbs (know, love, believe, own, understand) refuse the continuous and take the present perfect simple: I’ve known her for years
