Aceste modele se pastreaza la toate persoanele.
Momentul Past Perfect Continuous arata o actiune in plina desfasurare intre doua momente trecute. De asemenea, când in aceeasi fraza in propozitia principala se afla un verb la Past Tense, Past Divin Continuous poate prelua functiile lui Present Perfect Cotinuous in propozitia secundara.
Ex. When he entered the room, she had been typing for one hour.
(Când el a intrat in camera, ea batea la masina de o ora.)
After John had been watching TV for 10 minutes, he got bored.
(Dupa ce John privise (a privit) la televizor 10 minute, s-a plictisit.)
He said it had been raining for three days.
(El a spus ca ploua de trei zile.)
Dupa cum se observa, acest timp se poate traduce cu mai mult ca perfectul, perfectul compus sau imperfectul din limba româna.
