B She’s been to India.

Which of the four sentences A, B, C, D describes something:

 

1that happened in the past where you can still see the result now?

2that started in the past but which is still going on now?

3 that has happened over a period not yet finished?

4that happened in the past but we do not know when?

 

 

C. Present perfect simple or continuous?

We use the present perfect simple when an action is finished and we want to talk about the result of the action:

We use the present perfect continuous when we are talking about an activity which started in the past and is still going on. We are more interested in the activity than the result. For example:

He has been writing for 30 years.
