6、everal decades ago, local farmers mined limestone in Zhoukoudian, came upon some bone fossils and called them “the Dragon Bones”. Zhoukoudian became known as “Dragon Bone Mountain”.

13、e been talking for the last hour.She has been working at that company for three years.James has been teaching at the University since June.Use 2 Recently, Lately T: You can use the Present Perfect Continuous without a duration such as “for five minutes”, “for two weeks”, and “since Tuesday”.

14、 the durations, the tense gives a more general meaning of “lately”. We often use the words “lately” or “recently” in the sentence to strengthen this meaning. Now read these examples.
