Present Perfect Continuous quiz – part 2 focuses on negatives and questions. You will learn where to place not, how to start a question, and how to answer “yes” or “no” briefly.
Present Perfect Continuous quiz – negatives and questions
In the negative, we add not after have/has, and the rest of the sentence does not change:
- I haven’t been sleeping well. (have not)
- She hasn’t been practising much. (has not)
In a question, have/has comes before the subject:
- Have you been waiting long?
- What has he been doing?
In a short answer, we only repeat the auxiliary verb: Yes, I have. / No, she hasn’t. Students often confuse have with do/does or with is/are – these are the traps in the tasks.
How to solve?
The test is intended for students in grades 7–8 and prepares for the eighth-grade exam. In multiple-choice tasks, mark all correct answers. After a mistake, you will see a hint with the rule. When you master this Present Perfect Continuous quiz, move on to part 3 about for and since.
