HTML\/Javascript Present Perfect Progressive Primer Tutorial<\/p><\/div>\n

Today’s very alliterative blog posting title, alas, doesn’t mean The Three P’s<\/a> have had any offspring, but we can say today, that we are continuing on our ESL word and sentence game quest to help improve English usage for advanced ESL<\/a> students.<\/p>\n

The subtleties of the Present Perfect Progressive tense (also known as Present Perfect Continuous) in English are best explained in class, but next to that, let’s see what Wikipedia<\/a> says …<\/p>\n

\nEnglish also has a present perfect continuous (or present perfect progressive) form, which combines present tense with both perfect aspect and continuous (progressive) aspect: “I have been eating”. In this case the action is not necessarily complete; the same is true of certain uses of the basic present perfect when the verb expresses a state or a habitual action: “I have lived here for five years.”\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

So, this being the pretty complex subject it is, we’ve decided to put as the background image, today, with our web application, a reworked background image that is graphical by nature, reminding the user about the circumstances of the use of this English tense, and we’d like to thank Grammar Monster<\/a> for their wonderful website here. Of humungously magnificent use, also, was the book …<\/p>\n

\n“How English Works … A Grammar Practice Book” by Michael Swan and Catherine Walter\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

… from which the questions, though reworked a little, are derived, here, today, and with these matters, it is really good sentence questions to ask students that make for a good learning experience. Eh wot … please ignore this break with protocol<\/font>.<\/p>\n
