Answer 2

I have been looking at this group photo for five minutes, but I can't find you in it.

In the above solution, we see the usage of the present perfect continuous tense.

Tenses are words that signify or portray the time or tenure of an activity, event, or phenomenon.

• For example, It rained yesterday. Here, the word 'rained' is in the simple past tense.
• By this, we understand that the phenomenon or event that is being spoken about has already ended and thus, is in the past.

Thus, we understand that the action that is being spoken about in the question has already started and is still going on.

• When there is a usage of has/have/had, the sentence is said to be in the present/past/future perfect tense.

1. Has is used when a statement is in the present perfect tense. It is used when the subject that it is used with is singular, or when pronouns like he/she/it are used.
2. Have is used when a statement is in the present perfect tense. It is used when the subject that it is used with is plural, or when pronouns like they/you/we/I are used.
3. Had is used in a statement that is in past perfect tense irrespective of the singularity or plurality of the subject.
