Present Perfect Or Present Perfect Continuous
Hey, guys, I'm now doing my homework but I'm not sure about this example:
A: Sorry I'm late!
B:That's all right. I haven't waited/I haven't been waiting long.
Which one do I have to use? Another example:
She's just got her driving licence. She hasn't been driving/hasn't driven for very long.
Which one do I have to use, the Present Perfect or the Present Perfect Continuous?
Thank you very much!
