have been pretty fine vs been pretty fine

Both phrases are not complete sentences, but if we consider them as part of a larger context, "have been pretty fine" is the correct form. The addition of "have" in the first phrase indicates the present perfect tense, which is suitable for describing a state that started in the past and continues up to the present.
