I know have been does, but does had been also imply some ongoing action?
Do these mean the same?
"I just wanted to make sure it was you because I had/have been getting weird emails."
Can had been imply that you are still getting some since it doesn't really say anything about you not getting any more weird emails?
"If you asked him to do the chores, he should be doing them right now, since he had/has decided to help you out more."
Can both "had decided" and "have decided" imply that his decision is still current? Or do you have to choose one thing over the other? I think present perfect would be wrong in these examples, but I'm not sure if past perfect will imply the same meaning.
