Past perfect continuous ini mirip
dengan bentuk Present perfect continuous, Cuma bedanya antara bentuk past
dengan present. Bentuk past berlangsung di masa lampau sedangkan present
terjadi hingga sekarang ini. Kemudian bentuk past perfect juga berbeda dengan
bentuk past perfect continuous, jika past perfect menyatakan suatu action yang
selesai sebelum peristiwa lain terjadi, maka past perfect continuous lebih
menekankan duration/durasi action yang sedang terjadi sebelum peristiwa lain
terjadi di masa lampau.
