PAST PERFECT CONTINUOUS
Past Perfect Continuous утворюється з допоміжного дієслова to be в Past Perfect та дієприкметника теперішнього часу основного дієслова. Дієслово в Past Perfect Continuous не змінюється за особами:
I (you, he, she, it, they, we) had been working.
Питальна, заперечна і питально-заперечна форми Past Perfect Continuous утворюються за тими ж самими правилами, що й відповідні форми Present Perfect Continuous.
Питальна форма: Had you been working?
Заперечна форма: I had not (hadn’t) been working.
Питально-заперечна форма: Had he not been working? Hadn’t he been working?
Цей час виражає тривалу дію, яка почалася до якогось моменту в минулому і або продовжувалася в цей момент, або закінчилася безпосередньо перед ним. Час тривалості дії або її початок вказує так само, як і в реченнях з дієсловом у Present Perfect Continuous, але здебільшого час тривалості дії зазначається:
