We use both of these tenses for finished and unfinished actions.

The present perfect simple can be used (often with 'since' and 'for') to talk about
unfinished actions that started in the past and are still true in the present. It's often used
with stative verbs:

 I've known deral since we were child.

: I’ve wanted to visit London for years

The present perfect continuous can also be used (often with 'since' and 'for') to talk
about unfinished actions that started in the past and are still true in the present. (Of
course, we don't use the present perfect continuous with stative verbs):

 She's been living in Canada for three years.

: they've been sleeping on the couch all night because we didn't have enough
rooms

Subjek : has/have been verb + ing

She has been swimming

Focusing on result or activity

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.
