    "They've waited for hours" could only mean that the activity isn't happening anymore? Could you try to mention in your answer a context where that sentence would be suitable? Thank you.

    Is there any difference: I have read a lot of books recently; I have been reading a lot recently. Are those sentences very similar, but slightly different in their meanings? The first would carry the information that the speaker reads as a habit (the person has read a lot for many years now), while the second would indicate that reading has become a habit a short time before? (Thank you very much for your help!)

    Verb tenses and "Me before you" book I've been reading "Me before you" and I've got a doubt about verb tenses. There is this paragraph right in the beginning, on chapter 2:"Now, looking back, I couldn"t even remember having a discussion with him about money. He suggested a weekly wage, I agreed, and once a year he told me he'd upped it a bit, usually a little more than a would have asked for." In "he'd upped it a bit", is that the short form of HE HAD? If that's the case, i'm finding it difficult to get the meaning of past perfect. It would make more sense to me if it was "he'd UP it a bit", with the short form of HE WOULD and meaning past of WILL.
