Объяснение:

Цитирую две статьи с сайта Native-English:

1) "Время Present Perfect обозначает действие, которое завершилось к настоящему моменту или завершено в период настоящего времени. Хотя английские глаголы в Present Perfect обычно переводятся на русский язык в прошедшем времени, следует помнить, что в английском языке эти действия воспринимаются в настоящем времени, так как привязаны к настоящему результатом этого действия."

2) "Время Present Perfect Continuous указывает на действие, которое началось в прошлом, продолжалось в течение некоторого времени и либо закончилось непосредственно перед разговором или все еще продолжается в момент разговора."

Вот от этого и надо исходить. :) И кроме того надо помнить, что есть еще глаголы состояния - как want, например, которые в принципе почти никогда не используются в продолженном времени.
