Пока я пью кофеPresent Perfect Continuous
have / has been + -ing: действие длится долго, началось в прошлом и идёт до сих пор (или только что закончилось, и видны следы).
Как строится
have / has + been + глагол-ing: I have been waiting, she has been working.
Процесс или результат
Continuous — про процесс и время: He has been studying English for years. Simple — про результат и количество: He has closed twelve deals this year.
Следы на лице
Только что закончилось, но видно: Your eyes are red. Have you been crying?
Без -ing
Глаголы состояния остаются в Simple: I have known him for years, а не have been knowing.
