Explanation

English has three time periods (Past, Present, Future) and Perfect Continuous exists in each: Past Perfect Continuous (had been verb-ing), Present Perfect Continuous (has/have been verb-ing), and Future Perfect Continuous (will have been verb-ing). Therefore, there are three Perfect Continuous tenses.
