Grammar explanation
Shpjegimi gramatikor
We use both the present perfect simple (have or has + past participle) and the present perfect continuous (have or has + been + -ing form) to talk about past actions or states which are still connected to the present.
Ne përdorim edhe kohën e kryer (folja kam + pjesore e kryer) dhe kohën e kryer të vazhduar (folja kam + qenë + formë -ing) për të folur për veprime apo gjendje të së shkuarës të cilat janë ende të lidhura me të tashmen.
Focusing on result or activity
Fokusimi në rezultat ose veprim
The present perfect simple usually focuses on the result of the activity in some way, and the present perfect continuous usually focuses on the activity itself in some way.
Koha e kryer zakonisht përqendrohet në rezultatin e veprimit në njëfarë mënyre, dhe koha e kryer e vazhduar zakonisht përqendrohet në vetë veprimin në njëfarë mënyre.
