Slide 5 - Slide

Past Perfect Continuous
Je wilt weer de tijdsduur benadrukken, maarbij deze tense is het is in het verleden gebeurd. (iets was al zolang bezig!) vaak gebruikt met een past simple. Het moment duurt dan van 1 punt in het verleden tot het andere punt in het verleden.  (Ook hier weer een past simple voor het kortere moment)
