    I have been doing<\/em>\u00a0\u201cHa estado haciendo\u201d\u00a0shows us that the action began in the past and continues in the present<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0Example: Have done \u201c<\/em>He estado haciendo\u201d means I was doing that in the past and still do it in the present. Have done<\/em>\u00a0\u201cHaber hecho\u201d\u00a0means that I have finished doing that.\u00a0I will not keep doing it.<\/p>\n

    Consequently, has it been done?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    It simply means that<\/strong> someone was given a task in the past and the task is now complete and completed in the recent past, even though it is unknown when it was completed.<\/p>\n

    Subsequently, the question is, what have you been doing mean? Say, “I’ve really been doing very well.”\u00a0It means that you or the listener “didn’t” expect you to be doing well, and contrary to expectations, you are.\u00a0Possible, but a bit of a strange way to start a conversation, without context.<\/p>\n

    On the other hand,\u00a0Was doing<\/em> \u201cEstaba haciendo\u201d is for the simple past and had been doing \u00a8had been doing “is the perfect past and is used to contrast the simple past with a time that occurred before the simple past.<\/p>\n

    Also know, have done and have been done?<\/em><\/h4>\n

    Have been done<\/em>\u00a0is a Passive Present Perfect structure, while\u00a0have done<\/em>\u00a0is simply a Present Perfect.\u00a0Examples: Is there a difference between wouldn\u2019t and couldn\u2019t?\u00a0<\/em>(\u00bf<\/em>Hay alguna diferencia entre no podr\u00eda y no podr\u00eda?)<\/p>\n

    What is the difference between\u00a0have been and have done<\/em>\u00a0?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    I ‘\u00a0ve been doing<\/em> (He estado haciendo<\/strong>) means I was doing that in the past and yet I still do in the present.\u00a0Have done<\/em> (Haber hecho)<\/strong>\u00a0means I’ve finished doing that.\u00a0I will not keep doing it.\u00a0It may or may not do so in the future.<\/p>\n

    1st answer. \u201cHas been\u201d and \u201chave been\u201d<\/em> \u201cHa sido\u201d y \u201cha sido\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0are both present perfect. Has been<\/em> “Ha sido” is used in the third person singular and\u00a0have been<\/em> “han sido” is used for the first and second person singular and all uses of the plural.\u00a0Had been<\/em> “Hab\u00eda sido” is the past perfect and is used in all cases, singular and plural.<\/p>\n

    The auxiliary verb \u00a0\u00a0is<\/em> “es” is invariably used in the present tense, while ‘been’ is applied in the past tense. It is the past participle of\u00a0be<\/em> “ser”, so it is always wrong to write is been<\/em> “ha sido”. The combination\u00a0has been<\/em> “ha sido” is correct and shows the sign of the present perfect. For example, Ram has composed a poem<\/em>\u00a0\u201cRam ha compuesto un poema\u201d.<\/p>\n

    Meaning of <\/strong>Had been?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Had been<\/em> “Hab\u00eda sido” means that something started in the past, lasted some time and then ended. This is completely in the past.\u00a0This verb tense is known as\u00a0past perfect<\/em> \u00a0 “pret\u00e9rito perfecto”.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    How to use it?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    Had<\/em>\u00a0is the past tense of these two verbs.\u00a0In the present tense,\u00a0have<\/em>\u00a0is used for\u00a0I, you, we, and they<\/em>\u00a0and all plural nouns.\u00a0Has<\/em> (Tiene) is used for he, she and that, and for all singular nouns. ((“Has” is the third person singular form of “have.”) “Has” is the third person singular of “have”).<\/p>\n

    Have you been doing or have you been doing?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    The \u00a0\u00a0was doing<\/em>\u00a0means that something was still happening, that it was interrupted.\u00a0First of all, they both respond to the past tense.\u00a0This tense is formed with the modal “HAD” plus “BEEN”, plus the present participle of the verb (\u00a0with an -ing ending<\/em> \u00a0 “with the ending -ing”): I had been working in the garden all morning<\/em>\u00a0\u00a0(Estuve trabajando en el jard\u00edn toda la ma\u00f1ana).<\/p>\n

    What is Have’s past tense?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    How to form the past perfect<\/strong>\u00a0.\u00a0To form the past perfect, the past tense of the verb \u201cto have\u201d is used, which is had, and is added to the past participle of the main verb.\u00a0For example: subject + had + past participle = past perfect.<\/p>\n

    What tense is ING has been?<\/p>\n

    When used with have \/ has, it means that the speaker started the event in the past, but it continues to the present.\u00a0So “has been + ing” is the present perfect progressive tense and is in the active voice.\u00a0-ed is the suffix to create a past participle for regular verbs<\/p>\n

    How long has ING been?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    When used with have \/ has, it means that the speaker started the event in the past, but continues to the present. I have been walking my dog for a while<\/em>\u00a0(Llevo un tiempo paseando a mi perro).\u00a0So “has been + ing” is the present perfect progressive and is in the active voice.\u00a0-ed is the suffix to create a past participle for regular verbs.<\/p>\n

    Has it been done or has it been done?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Has been doing<\/em> \u201cHa estado haciendo\u201d\u00a0 means that the action began in the past and continues in the present. Have been doing<\/em> \u201cHaber hecho\u201d means something that started and ended in the past.<\/p>\n
