Lubos na Nakaraang Patuloy

Past Perfect Continuous

Inilalarawan ng Past Perfect Continuous ang kilos na nangyayari sa loob ng isang panahon bago ang ibang kilos o sandali sa nakaraan. Binubuo ito ng had been + pandiwa-ing. Binibigyang-diin nito ang tagal ng naunang patuloy na kilos.

KAILAN GAMITIN

Upang idiin ang tagal ng nangyayaring kilos bago ang isang sandali sa nakaraan, gamitin ang past perfect continuous (had been + V-ing), hindi past perfect (had + V3).

She had been knowing him for years before they married.

She had known him for years before they married.

Ang mga stative verb ay hindi nagagamit sa continuous form — gamitin ang past perfect sa halip.

Tip

Isipin na ito ay "nakaraan-ng-nakaraan-na-may-tagal". Kung past perfect (had done) = "bago noon", past perfect continuous (had been doing) = "ginagawa iyon ng ilang oras bago noon". Ang continuous na bahagi = tagal.
