BEEN= past participle of "be." Examples: I have been sick for a week (still am); She has been living in Calfornia for three years (still is); How have you been? Oh, I have been OK; How long have you been studying French? About ten years; If you had been here yesterday (you were NOT), you would have been happy because your favorite singer visited us yesterday. Too bad you did not come here yest
