Differences between the Present Perfect Simple

and Present Perfect Continuous

We can use both the tenses above to talk about
situations that started in the past and are still continuing
and also about situations that have just finished but still
affect the present.
However, there are two main differences between the
two tenses which are:
The focus is the action of baking
Focus
itself and thinking of it as an
extended action that may have not
finished yet.

Example: Shes been baking cakes all afternoon

The focus is now on

the five cakes that
have already been
baked.

Example: Shes baked five cakes this afternoon.

Present perfect continuous tense is used to speak about situations
and actions that are more temporary, and the present perfect simple
tense is used for situations and actions that are more permanent.
Example:
The cat has been sleeping all day.
The cat has never caught any rats.
Who has been eating my chocolates? There are only a few bars left in
the fridge.
Who has eaten my chocolates? There are none left.
