When do we use the present perfect continuous tense in indirect commands?

We use the present perfect continuous tense in indirect commands when we want to express a request or suggestion that has been ongoing or repeated over a period of time leading up to the present moment. This tense is used to emphasize the continuous nature of the action or activity. For example, "She has been asking me to help her with her homework" or "They have been urging us to attend the meeting regularly." In these sentences, the present perfect continuous tense is used to convey the ongoing nature of the requests or suggestions.
