Meaning
अंग्रेजी में "I've been" एक संक्षिप्त रूप है जिसका पूरा रूप "I have been" होता है। इसका उपयोग वर्तमान परिपूर्ण काल में होता है, जो यह दर्शाता है कि कोई क्रिया अतीत में शुरू हुई और वर्तमान तक जारी है या उसका प्रभाव अभी भी बना हुआ है।
उदाहरण के लिए, अगर आप कहना चाहते हैं कि आप कुछ समय से एक विशेष स्थान पर रह रहे हैं, तो आप यह कह सकते हैं: "I've been living here for three years." इसका अर्थ है कि आप तीन साल से यहाँ रह रहे हैं और अभी भी यहाँ रहते हैं।
"I've been" का उपयोग केवल भूतकाल की घटनाओं के बारे में नहीं होता, बल्कि यह यह भी दर्शाता है कि वह कार्य अभी भी चल रहा है या उसका प्रभाव अभी भी वर्तमान में है।
इसका प्रयोग कुछ और उदाहरणों में इस प्रकार हो सकता है:
- "I've been waiting for you." (मैं तुम्हारा इंतजार कर रहा हूँ।)
- "I've been working on this project." (मैं इस परियोजना पर काम कर रहा हूँ।)
इन उदाहरणों से यह स्पष्ट होता है कि "I've been" का उपयोग तब किया जाता है जब हम किसी ऐसी स्थिति या क्रिया के बारे में बात करते हैं जो अतीत में शुरू हुई थी और अब तक चल रही है या जिसका प्रभाव अब तक है।
