Explanation:
We use Present Perfect to:
• express actions that happened at an unspecific time in the past
Ann has broken an arm.
• actions that have relevance to the present and experiences
I've known Adam for donkey's years. We were at primary school together.
We use Present Perfect Continuous to express actions that started in the past, continue into the present and are likely to continue in the future
We have been calling you for days.
