de cateva zile m-am apucat sa invat bine de tot gramatica lb.engleze...am o dilema, poate ma ajutati voi sa o rezolv!
care este diferenta intre past perfect simple si past perfect continuous ...sau cum le deosebim, am observat ca past perfect continuos mereu e urmata de o perioada de timp "he had been studying for 3 hours" dar tot nu imi dau seama de diferenta dintre cele doua.....Multumesc!

Foarte simplu, am un caiet de la matusa mea care este profesoara de engleza si in care imi explica perfect diferentele dintre aceste 2 timpuri:
1. past perfect indefinite arata o actiune trecuta, incheiata inaintea unui moment trecut sau a unei actiuni trecute.
ex: i had finished my work:
- by 10 yesterday
- when the rain started
2. past perfect continous arata o actiune trecuta inceputa inaintea unei actiuni trecute si continuand pana la aceasta sau poate si dupa aceea.
ex: they had been playing football:
- since 10 o'clock
- all morning
1. adverbiale care cer past perfect indefinite:
-by; ex: i had read the book by 8 yesterday;
-after; ex: after i had eaten, i left for school.
-until; ex: the waiter didn't take the plates away until they had finished their diner;
-hardly; scarcely; barely; no sooner; ex: i had hardly opened the door, when the ball rang;
-just; already; yet; ex: i had just finished my work when the bell rang.
2. adverbiale care cer past perfect continous:
-since; ex: i had been writing since 5 when i arrived home;
-for; ex: i had been waiting for my friend for half an hour;
-because; ex: he has carrying a hammer and nails because he had been mending the fence.
sper ca ai inteles acum diferentele intre cele 2 timpuri si sper ca ti-a folosit raspunsul meu. intr-adevar a fost lung si plictisitor, dar m-am straduit sa structurez cat pot ca sa fie limpede. sper ca te-am ajutat, multa bafta la invatat engleza!
