verb tenses... Okay shoot.

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

does that mean you don't know?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No,no,no that means put the question lol

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

ohhh.. okay. Well I need to know the verb tense for: The company has been making surfboards since the 1960s.

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

Keep in mind, I don't want the answer! Just an explanation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm its hard to explain without giving the answer.

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

well, then maybe give the answer with explanation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are there answer choices?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

yes

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

present progressive present perfect progressive past perfect progressive past progressive

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would have to say present perfect progressive Because "The present perfect continuous refers to an unspecified time between 'before now' and 'now'. The speaker is thinking about something that started but perhaps did not finish in that period of time."

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I have to go my mom need me

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

oh, okay. will you be back?

OpenStudy (bloomlocke367):

thanks for the help!
