Explanation
The book has been lying on the table for weeks.
The book (subject) + has been lying (present perfect continuous verb) + on the table (prepositional phrase) + for weeks (duration).
The sentence says the book started being on the table in the past and is still there now ("for weeks") →
we use the present perfect continuous to show an action continuing up to the present: has been + present participle → has been lying.
