Okay, let's fill in the blanks with the correct form of the verbs in Present Perfect or Present Perfect Continuous.

  1. Ben: I 've been looking through my old toy box all morning. It brings back lots of memories.

    2. Explanation: The action of 'looking through' started in the past and is continuing, hence Present Perfect Continuous.

  2. Ben: Look, I 've found my old train set!

    3. Explanation: Here, Ben is announcing a recent discovery, so Present Perfect is appropriate.

  3. Pam: You 've been playing with those trains for over an hour.

    4. Explanation: Pam emphasizes the duration of the activity of playing, indicating the action started in the past and has been continuing until now, therefore Present Perfect Continuous is the most suitable tense.

  4. Pam: I 've been watching you.

    5. Explanation: Similar to #3, the duration and continuous aspect suggest Present Perfect Continuous.

  5. Ben: They're great! I haven't had so much fun for years! Look at this one!

    6. Explanation: This expresses an experience up to the present moment, so Present Perfect is used.

  6. Pam: Yes, Ben - it's a very nice train. But have you seen the time?

    7. Explanation: Pam is asking if Ben is aware of the time right now, hence present perfect

  7. Pam: It's 10:30 am. Your boss has just phoned from the office.

    8. Explanation: The action of the boss calling happened very recently, hence present perfect

  8. Pam: He has been waiting for you all morning. You have an important meeting.

    9. Explanation: 'Waiting' began in the past and continued all morning, so Present Perfect Continuous is fitting.
