Question

Look at these questions from the conversations. Then work in pairs and answer the questions below.

Answer

  1. do (did)
  2. have (has) (have studied / have been); be (are / am / is) (are based)
  3. be (are / am / is) (are you doing / been learning)

Note that in sentence f, an example of the present perfect continuous, both the auxiliary verb have and the past participle form of the auxiliary verb be are used, but it is the be form that ‘goes with’ the continuous form of the verb.
