Present perfect tense for continuing situation.
We often use the present perfect tense to talk about a continuing situation. This is a state that started in the past and continues in the present (and will probably continue into the future). This is a state. (not an action)
Ex.
- I have worked here since June.
- He has been ill for 2 days.
- How long have you known Tara?[/i]

I got confused on the part where it says “This is a state, not an action.”. I know that ‘known’ is a state but worked and ill are actions right?
