We use the present perfect to talk about something that sākt mācīties		began in the past and still continues now.
Amy is in hospital. sākt mācīties		She has been in hospital since Monday. (not ‘Amy is in hospital since Monday’)
We know each other very well. sākt mācīties		We have known each other for a long time. (not ‘we know’)
Are you waiting for somebody? sākt mācīties		How long have you been waiting?
I have been doing something (present perfect continuous)= ‘I started doing something in the past and I am still doing it (or have just stopped). sākt mācīties		I’ve been learning English for a long time (not ‘I am learning’) sorry I’m late. Have you been waiting long? It’s been raining since I got up this morning.
The action can be a repeated action: sākt mācīties		How long have you been driving? Since I was 17.
The continuous is more usual with how long, since and for sākt mācīties		I’ve been learning English for a long time. (not usually’ I’ve learnt’)
You can normally use either the continuous or simple with live and work. sākt mācīties		John has been living/has lived in London for a long time. How long have you been working/have you worked here?
But we use the present perfect simple with always sākt mācīties		John has always lived in London (not ‘has always been living’)
You can use the continuous or the simple for actions repeated over a long period: sākt mācīties		I’ve been collecting/I’ve collected stamps since I was a child.
Use the present perfect simple in negative sentences like these: sākt mācīties		I haven’t seen Tom since Monday. (=Monday was the last time I saw him) Jane hasn’t phoned me for two weeks. (the last time she phoned was two weeks ago)
