「現在完了時制 」について
The teaching that "has been ~" is a present perfect form first came to my attention a couple of years ago. 当惑しました。 On checking ESL and TEFL sites, I discovered that those sites teach "has been ~" as the present perfect form. 徹底的にびっくりした。
In response, I sent emails to some of the sites, asking for clarification of two issues. To repeat the phrasing of the key points of those emails:
1/ I have not been able to find reference to the "is + past participle" present perfect form - could you direct me to the area which explains it please.
2/ The "has been ~" form seems to have only its present perfect usage explained. Does your site explain its more common use as a progressive form?
To date: None of the sites that I e-mailed has given any response.
