Continuity in Context Answer Key

In this worksheet, students read short descriptions of different scenes and write full sentences explaining what the people have been doing using the present perfect continuous tense. Each prompt provides clues about ongoing actions based on physical evidence such as messy counters, tired expressions, half-finished artwork, or scattered tools. Students must infer what happened before the moment described and express it with correct has/have been + verb-ing structures. This activity strengthens grammar usage, inference skills, and descriptive writing. It teaches learners how to use visual or contextual clues to determine ongoing past-to-present actions.
