He estado enviando ... I have been sending
How would the above sentence fragment be classified?
Is it just a Past Progressive? Or is it something different?
Thank you,
Will

This is an example of the present perfect continuous, a.k.a. present perfect progressive (pretérito perfecto continuo).

Rusty y todos
I have been looking into contrasting the same sentence across different tenses.
I hope you will tell me if each of these are correct
For example. . .
1> Viajo I travel
2> Estoy viajando I am travelling (at the moment)
3> Viajé I travelled -preterite completed
4> Viajada I was travelling or I used to travel -may or may not still be travelling
5> Estuve viajando I was travelling -pret. completed
6> Estaba viajando I was travelling or I used to travel -may or may not still be travelling
7> Viajado past participle
8> Viajando present participle
9> Viajaré I will travel
10> Estaré viajando I will be travelling
11> Habré viajado I will have travelled
12> Viajaría I would travel
13> Habría viajado I would have travelled
14> He viajado I have travelled
15> He estado viajando I have been travelling
16> Había estado viajando I had been travelling
17> Habría estado viajando I would have been travelling
Thank you again

Viajo = I travel, I do travel, I am travelling and I'll be travelling (near future)
Estoy viajando = I am travelling (at the moment)
Viajé = I travelled -preterite completed
Viajaba = I was travelling or I used to travel -may or may not still be travelling
Estuve viajando = I was travelling -pret. completed
Estaba viajando = I was travelling or I used to travel -may or may not still be travelling
Viajado = past participle
Viajando = present participle
Viajaré = I will travel
Estaré viajando = I will be travelling
Habré viajado = I will have travelled
Viajaría = I would travel
Habría viajado = I would have travelled
He viajado = I have travelled
He estado viajando = I have been travelling
Había estado viajando = I had been travelling
Habría estado viajando = I would have been travellingOther than additional translations for the present tense and the one typo, all is good. :thumbsup:
