12. III. We used this tense when we want to focus on duration.
(We use Past Perfect Continuous to show that something started
in the past and continued up until another time in the past.
We can use time expression like “for five minute, for two weeks, etc.”
Note that this is related to the present perfect; however, the duration
does not continue until now, it stops before something else in the past.)
 The eager fan had been waiting in line for over six hours.
