--explanation--

The Present Perfect Continuous tense negative form is formed with hasn't/haven't + been + present participle, indicating an ongoing action that hasn't occurred as expected over time. For example:

He hasn't been exercising regularly. - This means his exercise routine has been irregular.

The Present Perfect tense negative form uses hasn't/haven't + past participle, describing an action that has not been completed up to the present moment. For example:

He hasn't exercised this week. - This indicates no exercise occurred this week.
