This printable ESL / EFL worksheet practises the Present Perfect Continuous through illustrated everyday situations. Students look at the picture and the given result or situation, then write a suitable sentence explaining what the person has been doing, for example, The streets are wet. – It has been raining. A word bank provides useful action verbs, although students can also create other logical answers.

Language goal: describing recent or ongoing activities that have a visible present result or consequence.

Grammar: Present Perfect Continuous – have/has been + verb-ing.
Vocabulary/theme: everyday activities, studying, shopping, exercise, weather, hobbies, health and daily life.

Language level: the vocabulary is mostly A2–B1, but using the Present Perfect Continuous to explain a present result — “His back hurts → He has been working in the garden” — makes the task most suitable for B1 learners.

Intended age group: 14–25, especially teenage and young adult learners.

An interactive quiz complements the printable worksheet. In the quiz, students practise the same grammar by reading each situation and pressing the correct option. 

The printable also includes an Example Solutions answer sheet; some answers may vary because more than one action can logically explain a situation.
