Negative Form:
In the negative form of the present perfect continuous tense, "not" is placed between
the auxiliary verb "have" (has/have) and the auxiliary verb "been." Here's the
structure:
Negative Structure: Subject + has/have + not + been + present participle
Examples:
1. She has not been studying for the exam.
2. We have not been waiting long.
Interrogative Form:
To form questions in the present perfect continuous tense, the auxiliary verb "have"
(has/have) is placed at the beginning of the sentence, followed by the subject. "Been"
comes next, and finally, the present participle is used.
Interrogative Structure: (Has/Have) + Subject + been + present participle?
Examples:
1. Have you been working on the project?
2. Has he been practicing the piano?
Negative Interrogative Form:
Combine the structures for negative and interrogative forms to ask questions in the
negative form. "Not" is placed between "have" (has/have) and "been," and the
structure is the same as the interrogative form.
Negative Interrogative Structure: (Has/Have) + Subject + not + been + present
participle?
Examples:
1. Have not you been paying attention?
2. Has not she been taking her medication?
