They’ve waited for hours.

[Alice Chu]

1. Do the two examples below indicate a temporary situation?
2. Are the writer’s opinions correct?

The present perfect continuous can be used to emphasise the length of time that has passed. The present perfect simple is generally neutral:

(1) They’ve been waiting for hours! (This emphasises the length of time).
(2) They’ve waited for hours. (This doesn’t emphasise the length of time).
