Present participles and "for the past week" both express continuity and so the reason why they are compatible. The main verb 'have seen' is not compatible with "for the past week", which is where you and I agree.  |
I doubt that. "For the past week" is a member of the Past Family, which are compatible with Present Perfect:
Ex: They have stayed in this hotel for the past week.
== The structure is perfectly alright. :o
This is the reason I asked about the Past Family. I am afraid I can't agree
"The main verb 'have seen' is not compatible with "for the past week." :? :?
