Explanations/Explicații:

• Atât Present Perfect Simple, cât și Present Perfect Continuous, exprimă acțiuni începute în trecut și care nu au fost încă finalizate în prezent.

• Present Perfect Simple se axează mai mult pe rezultatul activității decât pe activitatea propriu-zisă în timp ce Present Perfect Continuous se folosește pentru a pune accent pe durata acțiunii.

• Ambele timpuri au ca indici de timp: for, since și how long:

How long have they been playing football?

They've been playing football for two hours.
