Answer 1

Ответ:

1. The weather is awful. It has been raining all day. (Present Perfect Continuous для действия, которое началось в прошлом и до сих пор длится)

2. When did you arrive in this city? (в вопросах про время выполнения действий нельзя использовать перфект, только Past Simple)

3. Jane has been working in the department store for the last three years. (Present Perfect Continuous чтобы подчеркнуть, как долго длится действие)

4. By the time we arrived, the play had started. (сначала началась пьеса, а уж потом мы приехали)

5. She has been married for the last ten years. (Present Perfect глагола be. Как глагол состояния он не используется в Continuous)

6. I have been writing letters all day. (была ошибка в причастии. Для Perfect Continuous нужно причастие настоящего времени, а не прошлого)
