Hi. I've been thinking of one example, which isn't explained in any books. I know the rules of the present perfect continuous, however what should we do when we announce a piece of news by using this tense and then we would like to give more details? For example:
- Hi, I can't go to the party today. I'm so tired, because I've been working in the garden.
- It's a pity. What have you been doing there?
- I've been raking.
- With whom have you been doing it?
Should we use this scheme if we want to get on with giving details?
