Past Perfect Progressive

we'll see or hear this one okay the past perfect progressive so that is past perfect right so we need had and it's perfect so we need been and it progresses so we need verb plus ing so it's three part okay so this one for example she had been studying English she has been studying English you can pop it you can stop it there or you can continue okay by the by judging studying English by well by the time she moved to LA okay what is this what is this mean why am I using the progressive mind yes just show more line so it's now it's not this first and a second it's this first but continue continue continue until this one right that's what it means it just means that this one continued until that one but we don't use this with non action right this is only for action verb okay let me give you another example okay they had been talking by the time the class started so right this one was continuing until that started that's it right so if you say they had been talking it just means it continued but if you say they had talks that just focuses on the action finishing before that one so they're both correct the meaning changes a little bit but there's a special special case for this one okay remember last week I said why are your eyes red Oh were you crying right we can use the past progressive remember were you crying but a better one is this one okay so if someone comes into the room sweating and breathing hard like that you can say wow have you grown you can say I but yeah what have you been doing and then they say I've been I've been running I'd been running but I'm not now okay before I came into this room before I entered I had been running so I'd been running and you know that this happened before they came in but they're not running now so this one finished okay yeah let me let me write an example we have stand living and Venezuela when II won a competition so this is an example from your book he had been living in Venezuela two things happened in the past right he has been living in Venezuela when he won the competition yes but he didn't move from Venezuela just because he won he continued to live there after that so yes you could yeah the thing is we're using the past perfect or the past perfect progressive to emphasize that something happened or was happening before something else that's the main reason because sometimes you have two things in the past and you need to make sure which one happened first and which one happens second that's it but these words make that really clear which is why we don't use it very often okay so let's look at examples of these ones so let's let's first understand that these remember those time words I told you about the time words after time words after those time words you can use okay a time you can use a time okay and not all of them some of them like after lunch right before dinner as soon as lunch no we can't say that okay by the time lunch no we can't say that but you could say you could say 5:00 lunch okay so some of them you can use with the time but all of them you can use with a clod okay a clause remember what a clause is that's subject plus very okay subject plus verb and it's not going to be a complete clause because this is the time word okay so let's let's look at the example with after okay let's use the symptoms with after let's try to let's try to use this same exact sentence but let's use after yes and this is this verbs always going to be the simple past good thank you yes okay so let's use this sentence with after he had been living in Venezuela when he won a competition oxygen horn well it but what what happened first happy leave eager it isn't likely to be hurt he had been living there and then he won right so after he had been living in Venezuela he won a competition so in this sentence we have after and then we have the clause subject right and then we have the verb but is the verb is it in the simple past so it's not always going to be in simple past you have to know sometimes it's simple past sometimes it's perfect you know past perfect sometimes it's tough perfect progressive it depends on what you're focusing on but you can also say you could just say after he right after he lives in Venezuela he wanted competition but that changes the meaning a little bit right this one which part this that you can you you can use this explain something was happening and tell something else right so this happened before that but after means it's clear what it means it means after right so you can just use the simple past if you want but it might change the meaning of the sentence so you have to be careful after he lived in the miss whele that means he lived there and then you moved and then he won okay so it doesn't have the same meaning every time you change the verb form that's why sometimes we do need to just use the past perfect or the past perfect progressive okay so let's look at after again okay I'm giving another example from your book [Music] there's two actions in the past right we have used he met new friends right so according to this sentence which one happened first after he had moved to LA he met new friends for the first row so first he moved right and then you met new friends so after he had done this he did fit right so we can use the tax perfect or we can just use the simple past this has the exact same using nothing really changes okay it's clear right yeah so it's clear that this one was first so in this situation we would just use simple cup but if you want you can make it more clear and you can use pack card okay so let's look at another let's look at the word before so try it with before same thing before is before you before us human men so again to action we met he had moved which one happens first first he had blue right then we met but it's a different word right but you understand what that means before before you do this he did that so could I also say this could I say that before you met new friends team of do LA and it's still really clear what that this happened first right ok let's try it with s-sunnah esquina Hey oh he meant okay so which one happened first this one no as soon as as soon as engineer the first action as soon as introduces even though it comes close it does come close to space and then this is the second action so this is the first one so we can make that more clear how can I make that more clear that this one happened first how can I hit you can say had note he had moved as soon as he had moved he met new friends as soon as means win-win or after yeah it can mean after let's try let's try by the time with the same one by the time he's moved okay now actually this one we have to change because by the time shows the second thing so by the time by the time you met new friends he had good e'en miss to la by the time he met new friends he had moved to LA so first he moved then he met he had moved by the time he made new friends so by the time introduces the second unit okay now when is a little bit more confusing yes when is computing like he has had video briefing now if you don't keep moving here let's look at let's look at when okay so we're going to use when with the same let's use it with the same sentence okay when he which one happens first well the label okay so is this one happens first so if this one happen first couldn't we use time you couldn't okay but right right but when we're talking about for that's for when there's an interruption right that's for when we have something continuing in the past and then we have an interruption then we have to use simple past but even if you're talking about future you use when you want to use it so and this is a different time period and different thing okay now let's look let's look at another example with win your book has a good one and here when the concert ended she left which can happen first with some Harvick second server live 11 seconds okay so first seconds but just like this one it changes okay so if I say when the concert hardhead is ended okay still has the same right but what if I say when the concert in is she has left what if I flip the past perfect fair so then which one happens first first she left been in before right so you can leave a concert before in right so when thank you for you ask you can add you can add the past perfect to any quad right sometimes simple path sometimes perfect but depending on where you put it it's going to change the meaning and the timeframe of what you're saying right you see add less and less we have it difference which when the concert ended she left first the concert ended since she left but if you say when the concert ended she had left with we had a very scripted no pear pad letter to America so remember when everybody had plus past participle that's always the first thing always the first thing okay nice to live in to Ricky and then here's just left descendants yes okay all right then we have time words we have we have different words though in addition to those time words we have other time words so it's past perfect sometimes we use just like with present perfect we use already remember yes ever never right just we use these time words to really focus on which one was first in which one was second okay and where do we put these by the way if I have this sentence she where would I put already yeah so it goes between the helping verb in the major right what about yes she had studied yet but the only time we use yet is when it negative right if you want to use yet in a statement it has to be negative but we also use questions yet with questions right so add so we use it for question and negative right not affirmative okay how about ever yes negative and questions right sometimes we use it for affirmative to but but usually with a question what did you think what was issues yeah you have she ever so nice so again here before the main verb before the main verb okay most of the time yet it is when there's a helping verb in a main verb it's going to go for the main verb yeah and then how about never so but it still goes in the middle right okay but it means she had not studied and then just shoot oh she drove again in the middle right what is just means means I'm very close to now very recent right okay all right so those are important words to be aware of when you're using this okay all right the key the key time words that you need to know the most common time we use the past perfect is with fun so if you can just remember by okay or by the time jr. you can use the past perfect most commonly with Beckett and these these are time words so they can come at the beginning or in the middle right but they always introduce they always introduce second action okay so by the time the class ended by the time across ended this is the second thing right by the time introduces the second thing the students and what okay head felt higher okay good so this happens first right and now I've been second you had felt tired before the class memory right you could also use the talk perfect progressive how would I use that had fruit in feelingly they had been feeling tight
