Answer 2

Answer:

I am sleepy. I have been working all night.

Explanation:

'Have been working' is the present perfect continuous tense. This tense is normally used to depict an activity that has been finished in the recent past.  

We have a past tense, present tense, future tense. Apart from these, we have the present continuous tense, the past continuous tense, 'the future continuous tense', and present perfect tense.  

All these forms speak about the happenings either in the past or the present or the future. Not only that, we also have a set principle upon which these tenses work.  

There is a difference between I have been working, I worked, and I am working. Each of these tense shows the time factor.
