Present perfect continuous and present perfect

🅰
We use the present perfect continuous to express the idea of an activity ( a task, piece of work, etc. ) in progress until recently or until the time of speaking:

⭕️Have you been working in the garden all day? You look exhausted.

⭕️She's been writing the book since she was in her twenties and at last it's finished.

✅Note that we often use time expressions to say how long the activity has been in progress.

We don't use the present perfect continuous with verbs such as belong, know, (dis) like and understand that describe unchanging state:

⭕️Have you known each other long? (not have you been knowning ...)

⭕️I haven't liked ice cream since I ate too much and was sick. ( not I haven't been liking .... )

When we talk about situations( general characteristics or circumstances) that exist until the present we can often use either the present perfect or present perfect continuous.

⭕️We've been looking forward to this holiday for ages. (or we've looked forward ...)
