Now let's review and practice a bit.
Remember that we used had plus bin plus verb i n g to make sentences in the past perfect continuous
now read the following sentence and provide the past perfect continuous form of the verb in the bracket
and make sure to use contracted Florence when the boys entered the room it was clear that day to fight
when the boys entered the room it was clear that they'd been fighting also remember to form questions
by inverting the subject and had and form negatives by using non now read the following sentence and
provide the past perfect continuous form of the verbs in the bracket and again make sure to use contracted
forms Fred looked tired he to work on his project the whole night he not to work on it the whole night
he to party instead
Fred looked tired had he been working on his project the whole night he hadn't been working on it the
whole night he'd been partying instead
note the difference between the present perfect continuous and the past perfect continuous now this
sentence is in the present perfect continuous Nancy is exhausted she has been running errands now provide
the past perfect continuous of this sentence
Nancy was exhausted she had been running errands
also remember the we use time markers to emphasize the duration of the action now read the sentence
below and provide the past perfect continuous form of the words in the bracken I stayed at my friend's
place and Paris he not to live there very long but he knew the city very well
I stayed and my friend's place in Paris he had been living there very long but he knew the city very
well also note that non-contiguous firms are now used in continuous tenses now provide the correct form
of the following sentence their issues weren't resolved they had been hating each other since they were
kids
they had hated each other since they were kids.
