Прошедшее время (Past Tense) в действительном залоге имеет четыре группы: Indefinite, Continuous, Perfect и Perfect Continuous. Все четыре группы отличатся способом образования и смыслом, но вместе с тем они связаны между собой и в некоторых случаях взаимозаменяемы.
Все глагольные формы группы Perfect Continuous образуются по одной и той же формуле:
Вспомогательный глагол to BE + первое причастие PARTICIPLE I
В Past Perfect Continuous вспомогательный глагол to BE принимает форму Past Pefect (had been) и в результате мы имеем два вспомогательных глагола.
Итак, давайте рассмотрим, как образуется Past Perfect Continuous Tense, которая имеет два вспомогательных глагола had и been.
В вопросительной форме ПЕРВЫЙ вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим: Had I been speaking?
Отрицательная форма образуется при помощи частицы NOT, которая ставится после ПЕРВОГО вспомогательного глагола: I had not been speaking.
В вопросительно-отрицательной форме частица NOT ставится непосредственно после подлежащего: Had I not been speaking?
