The present perfect continuous tense describes an ongoing action started in the past that continues to the present.

If that sounds familiar, it’s because that’s one of the situations we use the normal present perfect tense, too.

You conjugate it by adding: has/have + been + present participle (ing).

Conjugate the verb "play" in first person (I or we).

The future perfect continuous tense functions just like the future perfect tense, except with an ongoing action. The major difference is that with the future perfect tense, the event will have ended, but with the future perfect continuous, the event would still be happening by that time in the future. Both, however, are frequently used with expressions of time. Add: will have been + PRESENT PARTICIPLE (ing) Conjugate the verb imagine in second person (you).
