Answer 3

1. "Ouch! I've been cutting my finger." - This sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the present perfect continuous tense to describe an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. The speaker is expressing that they have been cutting their finger and it is still happening.

2. "We've been studying English for eight years." - This sentence is grammatically correct. It also uses the present perfect continuous tense to describe an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. The speaker is expressing that they have been studying English for a period of eight years and they are still doing so.

3. "Have you been crying?" - This sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the present perfect continuous tense to ask about an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. The speaker is asking if the person they are addressing has been crying and if they are still crying.

4. "She's been reading this book three times." - This sentence is grammatically incorrect. It should be "She has read this book three times." The present perfect simple tense should be used instead of the present perfect continuous tense because the action of reading the book has been completed multiple times in the past.

5. "My brother has painted his bedroom, but he hasn't finished." - This sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the present perfect simple tense to describe an action that has been completed in the past. The speaker is stating that their brother has painted his bedroom, but he has not finished the task completely.

6. "We've been waiting for the bus for half an hour, and it still hasn't come." - This sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the present perfect continuous tense to describe an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. The speaker is expressing that they have been waiting for the bus for a period of half an hour, and the bus has not arrived yet.

7. "Oh no! I've been breaking the windows." - This sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the present perfect continuous tense to describe an action that started in the past and is still ongoing. The speaker is expressing that they have been breaking the windows, possibly by accident, and it is still happening.

8. "This week I've been staying with my grandparents, but I'm going home tomorrow." - This sentence is grammatically correct. It uses the present perfect continuous tense to describe an action that started in the past and is still ongoing, and the speaker is stating that they have been staying with their grandparents this week. However, the second part of the sentence uses the future tense to express that they are going home tomorrow.
