GRAMMAR REVIEW: Topic: Present Perfect Progressive (5-6 minutes) ( 現在完了進行形 ) Present Perfect Progressive tense describes an action that was made in the past, continues in the present and possibly in the future. This tense is indicated by the expressions has/have been plus the present participle of the verb in (-ing) form. ( 現在完了進行形は過去に始まり現在も続き今後も続く可能性がある出来事を表わしますこの時制は has been または have been + 動詞の現在分詞 (-ing) 形で表されます ) These are the common uses of the present perfect progressive: ( 現在完了進行形の一般的な使い方は次のとおりです ) 1. Putting emphasis on the duration or course of an action (not the result) ( 結果ではなく動作の持続時間や一連の動作を強調します ) Example: The engineers have been working on the plan for two months now. ( 例 : その技師は現在までに 2 カ月その計画に取り組んでいます ) 2. Expressing action that was recently completed and has an observable effect on the present or is still going on. ( 最近完了した行動でその影響が現在もなお続いている行動を表現します ) Example: I have been exercising, so I'm really tired. ( 例 : 運動をしていたのでとても疲れています ) Example: Improvements in the rural construction has been going on since ( 例 :2001 年から地方の建造物の改良が行われています ) 3. Expressing finished action that influenced the present. ( すでに完了し現在に影響を与える行動を表現します ) 3

4 Remember: Example: They have been constructing the building all afternoon. ( 例 : 彼らは午後中ずっと建築に取り組んでいました ) Present participles are formed by ending the verb with ing (e.g. constructing). Has is a singular verb while have is a plural verb. ( 現在分詞は語尾が ing の動詞で形成されます ( 例 :constructing) Has は単数形の主語を受ける動詞で have は複数形の主語を受ける動詞です ) Examples: Subject ( 主語 ) The company ( その会社は ) The Board Members ( 役員会 ) Welders ( 溶接工 ) Auxiliary verb ( 補助動詞 ) has been have been have been Present participle ( 現在分詞 ) investing ( 投資する ) planning ( 計画する ) working ( 取り組む ) most in the construction industry.
