What is the present perfect continuous tense?

The present perfect continuous tense is a verb tense used to describe an action that started in the past, is still ongoing in the present, and is expected to continue into the future. It is formed by using the present tense of the auxiliary verb "have" (or "has" for the third person singular) followed by "been" and the present participle (-ing form) of the main verb. This tense is often used to emphasize the duration or repetition of an action or to describe an action that has just finished but still has a connection to the present.
