Afirmativ: S + had + been + V-ing…
Negativ: S + had + not + been + V-ing…
Interogativ: Had + S + been + V-ing…?
Expresii specifice:
By (până, până la)
By the time (până cand)
Until (până; până când)
Before (inainte)
Since, for…etc.
3. utilizare
Exprima o actiune trecuta care s-a desfasurat pe o
perioada de timp inaintea unui moment trecut sau a
altei actiuni trecute.
Prima actiune (sau actiuni simultane) care se
desfasoara cronologic se pun cu Past Perfect
Continuous. Urmatoarea actiune (sau actiuni)
desfasurate cronologic se pun cu Past Simple.
Se poate traduce cu mai-mult-ca-perfectul din
romana (ex. “mancase”), dar si cu perfectul compus
(ex. “a mancat”).
4. exemple
Era somnoros atunci pentru ca se uitase (s-a uitat) la
filme toata noaptea.
He was sleepy then because he had been watching
films all night long.
Observatie:
Prima actiune desfasurata cronologic este “a se uita”
(deci Past Perfect Continuous), care este anterioara
actiunii de “a fi somnoros”. Cu alte cuvinte, actiunea
de “a se uita” este anterioara actiunii de “a fi
somnoros”.
5. exemple
O asteptase (a asteptat-o) aproape o ora inainte ca
ea sa vina.
He had been waiting for her for almost an hour
before she came.
Observatie:
Prima actiune desfasurata cronologic este “a
astepta”(deci Past Perfect Continuous), urmatoarea
este “a veni” (deci Past Simple). Cu alte cuvinte,
actiunea de “a astepta” este anterioara actiunii de “a
veni”.
6. exemple
Andy a incercat sa repare masina timp de 20 de
minute pana cand a sosit mecanicul.
Andy had been trying to fix the car for twenty
minutes by the time the mechanic arrived.
Observatie:
Prima actiune desfasurata cronologic este “a
incerca”(deci Past Perfect Continuous), urmatoarea
este “a sosi” (deci Past Simple). Cu alte cuvinte,
actiunea de “a incerca” este anterioara actiunii de “a
sosi”.
7. Atentie!
Chiar daca situatia comunicata cere un Past
Perfect Continuous, totusi, daca verbul are
restrictie la un timp continuu, atunci se pune
Past Perfect Simple.
8. Verbe care NU pot fi folosite la un timp continuu
Verbele de perceptie (to see, to taste, to
smell, to hear etc.)
Alte verbe ca: to be, to have, to think, to
believe, to love, to like, to hate, to know,to
understand, to want, to prefer, to mean, to
seem, to belong, to remember…etc.

9. exemplu
Il cunoscusem de mult timp inainte ca el sa ma
ceara de sotie.
I had known him for a long time before he proposed
to me.
Observatie:
Actiunea “a cunoaste” este desfasurata pe o perioada
de timp inaintea actiunii “a cere de sotie”, insa NU
putem folosi Past Perfect Continuous pentru ca
verbul “to know” NU poate fi folosit la un timp
continuu.
10. exemplu
Il cunoscusem de mult timp inainte ca el sa ma
ceara de sotie.
I had known him for a long time before he proposed
