Present Perfect continuous , yakın zamanda veya henüz sona ermiş bir aktivitenin

ifadesinde kullanılabilir bu aktivitenin şu an ile bağlantısı vardır.

Örn : A şahsı avrupa turuna çıkmış ve B şahsıyla ispanyada karşılaşıyor A' nın gideceği yerler sıralı :

1. France

2. England

3.Spain

4. Germany

5. Italy
