Will I ever understand the difference between present perfect simple and present perfect continuous? When should I use le former and when the latter? I guess the difference is that in the continuous form we talk about an action which is happening or has just happened and we ask, for example, about the time this action is taking/ has taken. How long has he been playing soccer? -> he's playing soccer right now and I want to know how long for. Right? Whereas: how long has he played soccer? -> he usually plays soccer and I want to know how many months/years for. Right? Please, if I'm wrong, give me some examples which could help me understand the difference. (And I would also be glad if you could correct my grammarical errors). Thank you :)
