Has been is used in Present perfect Continuous Tense but it is followed by time as: for two months or since January etc Pl check if the sentence is correct. If it is Present or Past continuous tense ..It should be... is burning or was burning.

LAY
[MOCKCAT]

She laid me up for breaking the tea-kettle
We need to lay up the supplies for the cold weather
The enemy troops laid waste the town
We can't help it:that is the lay of the land

SHADOW

[TIME MOCK]


They wanted to sit in the shadow of the tree to escape the scorching sun
The sudden death cast a shadow on the mood of the celebration
You can never achieve your full potential under the shadow of his dominating presence
Everyone knew beyond a shadow of doubt that he was the thief
Every champion was once a contender that refused to give up
