Excellent! I got it. Thank you! Beeesneees!
Second question: It has been raining for three days.
In this case, is it still raining now?, or has the rain just stopped? Or both will do?
Waiting for your reply, Gooday!

Both are acceptable. It is most likely that it is still raining now but it might have stopped very recently.
Thanks, Beeesneees!
Do you mean these two tenses in the below sentence are interchangeable?
It has rained /has been raining for three days.
Lovely, Gooday!
Hi Tasmantiger,
This ‘discussion’ seems to have got out of hand. The present perfect simple and the present perfect continuous are interchangeable in the sense that they can both be used grammatically but they have different meanings because they are different tenses.

Hi Alan,
‘Interchangeable’ means the same thing, in both meaning and grammar.
Don’t you agree with me?
Exhausted, Gooday!
