Presente perfecto progresivo

present perfect progresive
If the verb consists of only one syllable and the last three letters are: consonant plus vowel plus consonant, we will double the lastconsonant and then add "-ing". Eg:
I plan my weekend ahead. (Planeo el fin de semana que viene)
I have been planning my weekend ahead. (He estado planeando el fin de semana que viene)
For the negativeform we use "not" after the verb "to have". Eg:
I have not (haven't) been baking a cake but I have been baking a pie. (No he estado haciendo un pastel sino una empanada)

Has she been listening to the radio? (¿Ha estado (ella) escuchando la radio?)
