Present Perfect Continuous Tense Exercises For Tamil Grammar

Language learning paradise with clear grammar explanationsย 

The Present Perfect Continuous Tense in Tamil grammar reflects an action that started in the past and is still going on or recently stopped. It is typically formed by combining the present tense of the auxiliary verb เฎ‡เฎฐเฏเฎ•เฏเฎ•เฎฟเฎฉเฏเฎฑเฎฉ ‘irukkinrana’ with the ‘perfective participle’ of the main verb. The subject of the sentence can either precede or follow this auxiliary verb as per the context.
