You've never been working a 10:30 pm!
Is the first sentence OK?
You've never been working a 10:30 pm!
That's not true. I was working at 10:30 pm last Friday.

Nona The BritIt should be 'You've never been working at 10.30pm!'What's the difference?

Hi,
'You've never been working a 10.30pm!' The difference is that you need 'at', not 'a'. A typo, I guess.
Yes, the sentence is OK as long as you have a context where that tense is appropriate.
Best wishes, Clive

For example: "when you were working with Microsoft, you've never been working at 10:30pm". Or "tomorrow you've never been working at 10:30 pm". There are thousands of instances/contexts where the sentence would be inappropriate...
