Explanation

The given statement is true. The present perfect continuous tense is formed by using the subject followed by "has" or "have" (depending on the subject) and then "been" followed by the infinitive verb with "-ing" ending. This tense is used to express an action that started in the past, is still ongoing, and is expected to continue in the future.

5. If there is a sentence with either "for" or "since", I have to decide whether to use the present perfect simple or continuous

Explanation

This statement is true because when there is a sentence with either "for" or "since," it indicates a duration or a specific point in time. In such cases, we need to decide whether to use the present perfect simple or continuous tense. The present perfect simple is used to talk about completed actions or experiences, while the present perfect continuous is used to talk about ongoing or continuous actions or experiences. Therefore, it is important to carefully consider the context and the duration of the action or experience before choosing the appropriate tense.

7. Have you taken any decisions ____________ ?

Explanation

The word "yet" is used in this context to inquire whether the person has made any decisions at the present moment. It suggests that the decision-making process is still ongoing and the person is being asked if they have reached a conclusion or made up their mind about something.

Submit
8. Nobody ______________________ (take) our order yet.

Explanation

The correct answer is "has taken" because the use of "has" indicates that the action of taking our order happened in the past and is still relevant to the present moment. "Taken" is the past participle form of the verb "take" and is used with the auxiliary verb "has" to form the present perfect tense. This suggests that up until now, nobody has taken our order.

Submit
9. At the moment it is raining and I am so fed up with the weather. It ________________ (rain) all week.

Explanation

The correct answer is "has been raining" because the phrase "all week" indicates that the action of raining started in the past and is still ongoing in the present. The present perfect continuous tense is used to describe an action that started in the past, is still happening, and may continue into the future. Therefore, "has been raining" accurately reflects the continuous and ongoing nature of the rain throughout the week.

Submit
10. I think that the waiter ___________________ (forget) us.

Explanation

The correct answer is "has forgotten" because the sentence is in the present perfect tense, which is used to talk about an action that started in the past and is still relevant in the present. In this case, the action of the waiter forgetting us started in the past and is still affecting us in the present. Therefore, "has forgotten" is the correct form of the verb.
