Frage 55

Which sentence misuses the present perfect simple or continuous?

  1. We have been sorting donations all afternoon and are still busy.
  2. Leila has labelled every parcel, so they are ready to post.
  3. Theo has been baking five loaves so far, and all five are finished.Richtige Antwort
  4. Your hair is covered in sawdust because you have been cutting timber.

Erklärung

The loaves sentence contains the error because five loaves is a count of completed products and therefore needs the simple perfect. The all-afternoon sentence correctly uses the continuous to foreground an unfinished activity's duration.
