Anna: Excuse me. (1) We’ve been waiting to play tennis since 10.30. It must be our turn now.
Tim: I don’t think so.
Anna: (2) We’ve been standing here patiently watching you and it‘s time for you to stop. How long (3) have you been playing?
Tim: Since about 9.30. (4) We’ve played two matches so far this morning and (5) we haven’t finished the third yet. You’ll have to wait or do something else.
Anna: But (6) you‘ve been playing for more than two hours and it’s our turn now.
Tim: I said you’ll have to wait.
Anna: We’re tired of waiting and we haven’t got anything to do. (7) We’ve read the magazines we brought with us.
Tim: Why don’t you do something else? (8) Have you tried the swimming pool?
Anna: We don’t want to swim, we want to play tennis.
Tim: Well, I always play on a Saturday morning. Anyway, (9) we've already started the third match.
Anna: Oh well, it looks like we’ve got no choice, but (10) we’ve booked for next Saturday so you’ll be unlucky then.
Объяснение:
Если нам важна длительность действия, то надо использовать глагол в форме present perfect continuous.
Если же важен результат (указано, сколько сыграно матчей, написано писем, прочитано страниц и т. п.) или мы говорим о действии, которое только что совершили, то надо использовать present perfect simple.
