comment on this please
hi every one,  please comment on this sentence 
-Well, for about six months, he's been really down
why he said he is been instead of the he has been ? 
-I just thought it would just kind of go away,
this sentence is confused

thanks

Answer

"He's been" here means, "he has been."

The second sentence means "I thought he would just stop being sad." "To be down," means to be sad.

Answer

'He's been' is the contraction of 'he has been' not he is. 
He's - he is
He's been - he has been
