Hi Danyel,
I see you are working on tense :) . A lot of the differences are related to what you are trying to emphasize.
We have been playing in the park. = This is present perfect progressive, which is used to indicate duration (how long something was being done.) So we would usually say
* We have been playing in the park for 2 hours now, so we're hot and sweaty. or
*Question: "Where have you been all this time?"
Answer: "We've been playing in the park." (The idea being that
they've been in the park for a while.)
&
We have played in the park. = present perfect. One of the uses of present perfect is to indicate an event that happened at an unspecified time in the past. So, for example
*We've played in this park, but we've never played in that one."
or
"We've played in the park before and it was a lot of fun."
&
We had played in the park. = past perfect, used to indicate that one event happened before another in the past, e.g.,
* We had played in the park before we went to the zoo. [park happened before zoo]
&
We had BEEN playing in the park. = past perfect progressive, used to emphasize how long an event was happening before another event occurred, e.g.,
*We had been playing in the park for just a few minutes before it started to rain. [so the two events are playing and rain starting]
or
*We had been playing for hours before my mom said we had to go home. [two events are playing and mom talking]
