Your example sentence reflects the present perfect tense, which is a completed occurrence that happened once with a subsequent one-time result that could take place again. The definition you provided refers to a sentence written in the present perfect continuous tense, which is a completed occurrence that happened once with a result that continued in the past and could take place again. We may address this further as a newsletter topic in 2023.

“An action that began in the past and is still occurring in the present.”
This definition, however, is giving me some trouble with examples like the following:
John and Martha have eaten dinner.
If someone could provide me with some clarification and a better definition, that would be great.
