1. It has been raining since yesterday.
2. Mary hasn’t had any guests since last year.
3. Tom’s father has been building his house for two years.
4. My friends have been living in London for many years.
5. Alice has wanted a bicycle since her last birthday.
6. Peter and Kate have known each other for ten years.
7. I haven’t gone out for three days. I have been ill since Saturday.

Why didn’t we use Present Perfect Progressive in some of the sentences? Because some verbs are stative verbs or describe a state, not an action in progress. In such sentences we use Present Perfect, not Present Perfect Progressive.
