Present Perfect vs Present Perfect Continuous

The Present Perfect tense is used to describe actions or states that started in the past and have a connection to the present. It focuses on the result or completion of the action. On the other hand, the Present Perfect Continuous tense is used to describe actions or states that started in the past, continue into the present, and may continue into the future. It focuses on the duration or ongoing nature of the action.
