Focus & Flow

លទ្ធផល ទល់នឹង សកម្មភាព

Are you thinking about the Result, or the Activity itself?

តើអ្នកចង់ផ្តោតលើ លទ្ធផលដែលបានសម្រេច ឬ សកម្មភាពដែលកំពុងបន្ត/ទើបតែបញ្ឈប់?

The Core Difference

ភាពខុសគ្នាសំខាន់
🎯
Simple
Finished Result
(លទ្ធផលសម្រេច)
🌊
Continuous
Ongoing Action
(សកម្មភាពបន្ត)
Simple: "I have painted my room."
(It is finished. Look at the new color.)
Continuous: "I have been painting."
(I am tired. There is paint on my shirt. It might not be finished.)

Simple

ផ្តោតលើ បរិមាណ (ប៉ុន្មាន) ឬ លទ្ធផល
Subj + have / has + V3 (Past Participle)

Keyword: How much / How many

I have eaten my lunch. ខ្ញុំបានញ៉ាំអាហារថ្ងៃត្រង់រួចហើយ។ (Focus on completion)

Continuous

ផ្តោតលើ រយៈពេល (យូរប៉ុណ្ណា) ឬ សកម្មភាព
Subj + have / has + been + V-ing

Keyword: How long

She has been reading for 2 hours. នាងបានកំពុងអានសៀវភៅរយៈពេល ២ ម៉ោងហើយ។ (Focus on time)

The B2 Grammar Trap!

Stative Verbs cannot be Continuous!

(កិរិយាសព្ទបញ្ជាក់ស្ថានភាព ដូចជា know, like, want, believe មិនអាចប្រើក្នុងទម្រង់ Continuous (-ing) បានទេ ទោះបីជានិយាយពីរយៈពេលក៏ដោយ!)
I have been knowing him for 5 years. ❌
I have known him for 5 years. ✔️

Quick Check ⚡

ការត្រួតពិនិត្យរហ័ស ⚡
Focus on Quantity (បរិមាណ)

(ផ្តោតលើសកម្មភាពដែលបណ្តាលឲ្យហត់)
Grammar Trap! ❌

(have ទីនេះគឺជាកិរិយាសព្ទបញ្ជាក់ស្ថានភាព មានន័យថា "មាន/កម្មសិទ្ធិ")
