Past Perfect Continuous
1) UPOTREBA
Ovo vrijeme koristimo kad govorimo o radnjama, koje su započele u prošlosti i nastavile su se do određenog trenutka u prošlosti. To je prošla inačica vremena “Present Perfect Continuous”, s tom razlikom da “Present Perfect Continuous” traje do sadašnjosti, a “Past Perfect Continuous” do vremenske točke ili druge radnje u prošlosti.
