Answer 2

The Past Perfect Continuous tense, also known as the Pluperfect Progress tense, is used to express that an action or situation had been happening in the past until another event occurs to stop it from happening. The action or situation happened at an unspecified time before another action or state. We use the formula 'had been + Verb-ing' as a structure for past perfect continuous tense. Each sentence requires the correct form of verb, in the past perfect continuous tense, to fill in the blanks and eventually complete the sentence.
