I have been doing something (present perfect continuous)= ‘I started doing something in the past and I am still doing it (or have just stopped). begynn å lære		I’ve been learning English for a long time (not ‘I am learning’) sorry I’m late. Have you been waiting long? It’s been raining since I got up this morning.
The action can be a repeated action: begynn å lære		How long have you been driving? Since I was 17.
