- My sister and her boyfriend have not been going out together for a long time.
Or
- My sister and her boyfriend have not gone out together for a long time.
Answer
Both are correct. They mean different things.
- My sister and her boyfriend have not been going out together for a long time.
They stopped dating each other a long time ago (to be going out = to be dating each other).
- My sister and her boyfriend have not gone out together for a long time.
They are, quite possibly, still 'dating' but they have not actually been out together (on a date) for a long time. (to go out = (er...) to go out!)
