Розуміння та опанування Past Perfect Continuous Tense

Час Past Perfect Continuous (Минулий доконано-тривалий час) використовується в англійській граматиці для опису дій, які відбувалися в минулому до іншої минулої події. Розглянемо коротко правила вживання минулого завершеного тривалого часу. Опанування цього часу може покращити ваше вільне мовлення та розуміння складних англійських речень.

Структура часу Past Perfect Continuous досить проста. Він діє за схемою:

• «had been» + «verb-ing».
• Приклад: She had been running all day (Вона бігала цілий день)

Цей час допомагає показати хід або тривалість минулої дії, яка була перервана іншою подією.

Правила використання (вживання) Past Perfect Continuous

1. Тривалість перед чимось у минулому: Past Perfect Continuous повідомляє тривалість до моменту в минулому. Його можна використовувати з конкретними часовими виразами, наприклад «for two hours (протягом двох годин)», «for five days (протягом п’яти днів)», «all day (весь день)», «the whole day (цілий день)» тощо.

Приклад: They had been studying for hours when mom arrived – Вони вчилися годинами, коли прийшла мама

2. Причина минулої дії: час можна використовувати, щоб показати причину дії.

Приклад: She was tired because she had been working – Вона втомилася, бо працювала

Форми Past Perfect Continuous

1. Стверджувальна (позитивна) форма (positive ): структура позитивних речень у часі Past Perfect Continuous така: підмет + had + been + основа дієслова + ing.

Приклад: She had been studying for five hours – Вона вчилася п’ять годин

2. Заперечна форма (negative): для заперечних речень ми вставляємо «not» між «had» і «been». Структура виглядає так: підмет + had + not + been + основа дієслова + ing.

Приклад: They had not been sleeping well – Вони погано спали

3. Форма запитання (question): Щоб сформувати питання в часі Past Perfect Continuous, ми змінюємо subject  на «had». Тепер структура така: Had + підмет + been + основа дієслова + ing?

Приклад: Had you been waiting long? – Ви довго чекали?
