I've been

Hi,

I've been looking for a better and more stable job everyday.

Make a trip to New York.

Are these sentences correct?
  

Top answer

No. For present perfect continuous the time expression , everyday, is not correct. You have to say I have been looking for a better and more stable job for the last two months / recently/for three months/since I got hired.

  • No.
  • For present perfect continuous the time expression , everyday, is not correct.
  • You have to say I have been looking for a better and more stable job for the last two months / recently/for three months/since I got hired.
  • In your case present perfect continuous describes an action started in the past and continues to the present time and it is still in progress, therefore every day does not fit the context, you have to use a period of time for that.
  • If you insist on including everyday in your sentence,my understanding is that you can say I have been looking for a better and more stable job for the last two months every single day.

Hi,

I've been looking for a better and more stable job every (space) day.

Make a trip to New York.
OK, but 'Take a trip' is a very commonly used verb. It depends on the context.
