Hi guys,

Can someone elucidate the dilemma of using been in past/present/future perfect tense?

I'm not able to understand where to use "has + participle form of verb " and where to use " has + been + participle form of verb.

Any help is appreciated.
I'm no expert, just trying to work on my skills. If I've made any mistakes please bear with me.

I would say that the difference between "has + participle form" and "has + been + participle form" is simply that the former refers to something that happened in the past and is no longer happening whereas the latter refers to something that happened in the past and is still happening.

For example. "Sachin Tendulkar has contributed a lot to the team."

This means that his contributions have all come in the past.

"Sachin Tendulkar has been contributing a lot to the team" implies that he is still contributing. Notice how we use "contributing" when we say "has been" to indicate that it is still happening in the present.
