Dear teachers,
Is the following stce referring to a present action taking place at the moment of speaking or is it referring to a past event?
“How long have they waited for the doctor ?”
“They’ve waited for him for two hours."
i.e. Are they still waiting or have they got back home?
Many thanks,
Hela
