Present Perfect or Present Perfect Continuous

English Language Learners Asked by Lucy on February 2, 2021

If the Present Perfect is used focusing on the completed action and on the result, why do we say:
"I have been cycling (Present Perfect Continuous) all day and my legs are really tired now"

The action of cycling has completely finished.

Many thanks.

One Answer

You have been cycling all day

Situation 1: You have just finished cycling.(but the action continued until now)

Situation 2: You are still cycling.

Visualize yourself cycling and telling someone that you have been cycling all day.
