A question of focus
Let`s say I have redecorated my living room, it is finished and it looks nice. Someone comments on it, says it looks great. Is it possible for me to say: "yes, I have been redecorating", even though it is finished and the focus is on the room? Or do I have to say: "I have redecorated it"?
