Present perfect progressive vs past perfect progressive Tue Oct 12, 2004 22:52 pm  Present perfect progressive vs past perfect progressive
 

Hi Thinker,

Here is my suggestion:

Masha is tired because she has been running for 45 minutes. (present perfect progressive for an action that started in the past and lasts right up to the moment of speaking)

When Masha came home last night she was tired because she had been running for 45 minutes. (past perfect progressive for an action that started at some point in the past, continued for while and for a while and ended at some point in the past)
