"I have been" vs "i has been"

The correct phrase is "I have been." The verb "have" is used with the pronoun "I" to form the present perfect tense. "I has been" is incorrect because the verb form "has" is used with third-person singular subjects like "he," "she," or "it."

Last Updated: March 29, 2024

I have been

Correct. This phrase is commonly used in English to indicate an action that started in the past and continues into the present.

Use "I have been" to talk about an action that started in the past and is still relevant in the present. This is the present perfect tense.

Examples:

  • I have been working on this project for two weeks.
  • She has been studying English for a year.
  • They have been living in that house since 2010.

Alternatives:

  • I have worked
  • I have studied
  • I have lived
  • I have been doing
  • I have been going

i has been

Incorrect. This phrase is not used in English. The verb form "has" is not used with the pronoun "I."
