Question

Test 27 john is reading book now. he has read/been reading it for two hours

Answer 1

He has been reading it for two hours. (Pr. Perf. Continious, действие началось в пошли и длится до сих пор, процесс)

Answer 2

Both "has read" and "has been reading" can be correct in this context, but they convey slightly different meanings:

1. "John has read the book for two hours." This implies that John started reading the book two hours ago, and at some point within those two hours, he finished reading it. It doesn't specify whether he is still reading it now.

2. "John has been reading the book for two hours." This implies that John started reading the book two hours ago and is still reading it at this moment. It emphasizes the continuous action of reading over the entire two-hour period.

The choice between "has read" and "has been reading" depends on the specific meaning you want to convey.
