Kamrul Hasan. Though it is not tough, but sometimes really confusing. Manchan kushwaha. Abhisha Tripathi. Thanks for the lesson. I learnt how to use have been, has been, had been easily! Finally I have learned the difference between has been, had been, have been. Let English. For example, She has been feeling happy lately. They have been practicing football. In the second sentence, it is understood that a group has been practicing football lately.

This tense can also be used for interrogation. If it is not wisely or correctly used, it can offend people.

When the tense is used in an interrogative form, it denotes that one can see, feel, hear, or smell the consequences of some action which has been continued until that very moment. For example, Have you been drinking? These denote the personal pronouns. All three pronoun categories have singular and plural forms.

NOTE: Been is the past participle of to be. There has been for singular or uncountable nouns and there have been for plural are used when we want to confirm in the affirmative , deny in the negative or check in the interrogative that something existed in the past and continued in the present. Therefore we cannot use it with the adverb lately as it connects the present to the past. There has been and there have been are two forms used to confirm, deny or check the existence of something.
