Краткое объяснение

• Present Perfect используется, когда действие завершилось к настоящему моменту или важен его результат. Например: has jumped, has caught, has chosen.

• Present Perfect Continuous используется, когда действие началось в прошлом и продолжается до настоящего момента или подчёркивается его длительность. Например: has been reading, has been fishing, has been choosing.

• С глаголом to be обычно используется Present Perfect (have been / has been), поскольку он не употребляется в форме Continuous в данном значении.
