Present Perfect | in Movies (since/for/the whole/all/how long/lately)

   / @englishwithmoviesforyou   When we can't use Present Perfect Continuous (have been doing) we have to replace it with Present Perfect (have done), it happens with verbs that we can't use to talk about actions in progress (e.g. LOVE, KNOW, BE, BELIEVE, HAVE etc.) Have you ever wondered how often movies use the Present Perfect tense? In this video, we dive into iconic scenes featuring Present Perfect sentences with time expressions like since, for, the whole time, how long, and more! From "I've known you since childhood" to "He's been here all day," discover how state verbs and ongoing actions shape real conversations in film. Perfect for English learners or anyone who loves analyzing movie dialogue! #englishwithmovies #presentperfect #esl 00:00 - how long 01:11 - all 01:47 - whole = entire 02:10 - for 03:52 - in 04:07 - since 05:31 - lately
