\nShe <\/em>has not been practicing<\/em><\/strong> all afternoon.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Present Perfect Continuous is used to express that the action began in the past and has continued up to present. Time phrases such as \u2018for a few minutes\u2019, \u2018for several weeks\u2019, \u2018for today\u2019, \u2018since last week\u2019, etc. are used together with the Present Perfect Continuous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOTE: <\/strong>Always, only, never, ever, still, just etc. are normally placed in the middle of the auxiliary verb \u201chas\/have\u201d and \u201cbeen\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
