Present Perfect continuous Tense
as I understand that the Present Perfect continuous tense (also known as the present perfect progressive tense) shows that something started in the past and is continuing at the present time, the formula for writing is: has/have+been+present participle. example: I have been relaxing in my room after work lately,
She has been eating fast food for a month.
I have been learning English for two years.

Dear teacher,
I had seen the videos and lesson of present perfect continuous and it using situation.
1- Activities which happened in the past and still continued to now (temporary)
Ex: I have been staying with my friends until I find my own place to live.
2- Is used to express a past activity that has caused a present result.
Ex: I am hot because I’ve been running for 30 minutes.
Ex: How long have you been working here?
Form: Sub + has/have + been + Verb(ing
Ex: I’ve been studying English for 3 years.
Ex: I have been playing tennis since I was 16 years old.
Thank you.
