The Hebrew language, like many others, features a variety of tenses to convey the timing and continuity of an action. Two of these tenses, the Present Perfect and the Present Perfect Continuous, are used to communicate actions that have started in the past and continue into the present. The Present Perfect tense is used when an action completed in the past has an effect on the present moment, while the Present Perfect Continuous tense is used to indicate an ongoing action that began in the past and continues in the present. Understanding the differences between these two tenses is crucial for mastering Hebrew grammar.
