Geçmişte belli bir ana kadar süren eylem

Past perfect continuous (had been + -ing), geçmişteki bir andan önce başlamış ve o ana kadar süregelmiş bir eylemi anlatır. Vurgu süre ve süreçtedir.

I had been waiting for an hour when the bus finally came.Otobüs sonunda geldiğinde bir saattir bekliyordum.
She was tired because she had been working all day.Yorgundu çünkü bütün gün çalışmıştı.
How long had you been living there before you moved?Taşınmadan önce orada ne kadar süredir yaşıyordunuz?

Past perfect simple mi, continuous mı?

Present perfect'teki ayrım burada da geçerlidir: simple sonuç ve miktar, continuous süreç ve süre. She had written three letters. / She had been writing letters all morning. Durum fiilleri continuous olmaz: I had known him for years.

Türkçeden farkı: Türkçede bu yapı genellikle "-iyordum" ve bir süre ifadesiyle verilir: "Bir saattir bekliyordum." İngilizcede geçmişteki bir ana kadar süren bir eylem için past continuous değil, past perfect continuous gerekir: "I had been waiting for an hour" (I was waiting for an hour değil).
