simple past = the verb was true at that time, but won’t happen again (in the time frame of the sentence)

Grammar: present perfect continuous
perfect = [have] + past participle
continuous = [be] + verb(ing)
perfect continuous = [have] + been + verb(ing)
present perfect continuous = have/has + been + verb(ing)

meaning: an action that started in the past and continues now
---
“long actions” always take a long time; there’s not really a difference between simple and continuous
I have lived in Boston since 2008. = I have been living in Boston since 2008.

“medium actions” take some time, but without continuous we understand that it’s finished
I have written a book. = The book is finished (but I could write another one in the future).
I have been writing a book. = I’m still writing it now. It’s not finished yet.

“short actions” take very little time, so continuous is uncommon unless it means repetition
We have closed the store. = It’s closed now. This happened once.
We have been closing the store at 5 for years. = This has been happening repeatedly for a long time.
---

(In British English, L is repeated at the end regardless of stress: travelling, cancelling)
