y They've been working here for a long time but Andy has worked here for even longer. y I've lived here for 10 years and she has been living here for 12 years.

To emphasize the action, we use the continuous form.

y We've been working really hard for a couple of months. y She's been having a hard time.

To emphasize the result of the action, we use the simple form.

y I've made fifteen phone calls this morning. y He's written a very good report.

Look at the difference in these examples.

y I've been reading this book for two months but I've only read half of it. It's very difficult to read. y She's been trying to convince him for 20 minutes but she hasn't managed to yet. y They've been talking about this for month and they still haven't found a solution.

When an action is finished and you can see the results, use the continuous form.
y The phone bill is enormous. You've been calling your boyfriend in Australia, haven't you? y You're red in the face. Have you been running?

When you use the words 'ever' or 'never', use the simple form.
y I don't know them. I've never met them. y Have you ever heard anything so strange in your life.
