Let's look at the sentence pattern.

Do you remember the focus sentence from the dialogue?

Construction at this site has been increasing steadily since we began a few months ago.

This sentence follows the pattern here.

This pattern is the structure that all of our examples will follow.

Topic plus has or have plus bin plus I-N-G verb.

This structure is called the present perfect continuous tense.

We use it to describe something that started in the past and is still

continuing now, often to show steady progress or change. Let's go part by part. The topic is the

subject, what the sentence is about. It tells us which project, task, or activity is being discussed.

Has or have follows, and which to choose depends on the subject. For example, whether the subject is singular or plural.

Bin plus I-N-G verb forms the continuous action.

This part highlights that the activity has not just happened once, but has continued

or repeated over a period of time. Now, let's look at the example sentence. Construction at

this site has been increasing steadily since we began a few months ago. The topic is construction at this site.

This tells us what has been happening.

Has been, increasing is the verb phrase.

Has been sets up the ongoing timeframe and increasing is the ING verb that shows continuous growth.

The phrase steadily since we began a few months ago adds

detail about how and when the progress has taken place. So the full sentence follows the pattern.

Topic construction at this site has been plus ING verb increasing. This structure helps communicate that the project is moving forward and continuing to develop over time.

Now let's look at some speaking examples.
