តើយើងផ្តោតលើ "លទ្ធផល" ឬ "សកម្មភាពកំពុងបន្ត"? តោះសិក្សាលម្អិតពីការប្រៀបធៀបទាំងពីរនេះ!
🏆
Focus: Result

Verb 3 (PP)
Use the Simple form when the action is finished, and we can see the result right now.

(It is finished. Look at the new color!)

Focus: Action
ផ្តោតលើ "សកម្មភាព" (Present Perfect Continuous)

Verb-ing
Use the Continuous form when the action is still happening, or just stopped, and the action itself is the focus.
I have been painting my bedroom.
ខ្ញុំកំពុងតែលាបពណ៌បន្ទប់គេងរបស់ខ្ញុំ។
(My hands are dirty. I might not be finished yet!)
You look tired. Have you been running?
មើលទៅឯងហត់ណាស់។ តើឯងទើបតែរត់មែនទេ?
(The running recently stopped, causing the tiredness.)

Yes, Sovan! With the verbs live and work, both the Simple and Continuous forms are often correct and mean almost the exact same thing. However, using the continuous ("have been living") puts a little more focus on the fact that you are still doing it right now! 🏛️
Teacher, can I say "I have been living in Siem Reap for 3 years" OR "I have lived in Siem Reap for 3 years"? Are they both correct?
