1-Affirmative of it:

2 - Negative of it:

He has not (hasn't) been eating since noon. (Is it correct sentences?.)

3- Interrogative of it:

I don't know what is the Interrogative form of the present perfect continous tense. please write one sentence express about that.

???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

The same thing in the past perfect continuous:

please write one sentence express about the Interrogative of the past perfect continuous.
