Kumusta, lahat.

Hi, everybody.

Ako si Esther.

I'm Esther.

Magsimula tayo ng checkup para sa past perfect continuous tense.

Let's start a checkup for the past perfect continuous tense.

Tingnan ang unang pangungusap.

Take a look at the first sentence.

It says, ‘They __ for a long time before they went home.’

Sinasabi nito,

'Matagal silang __ bago sila umuwi.'

Subukang punan ang patlang ng pandiwa na 'trabaho' sa panahong ito.

Try to fill in the blank with the verb ‘work’ in this tense.

Remember, no matter what the subject, we follow the subject with ‘had been’.

Tandaan, anuman ang paksa,

sinusunod natin ang paksa ng 'nagdaan'.

So we say, ‘They had been’.

Kaya sinasabi namin, 'Naging sila'.

What happens to the verb?

Ano ang nangyayari sa pandiwa?

Remember, we add ‘-ing’.

Tandaan, idinaragdag namin ang '-ing'.

So the sentence is, ‘They had been working for a long time before they went home.’

Kaya ang pangungusap ay,

'Matagal na silang nagtatrabaho bago sila umuwi.'

Now, take a look at the second sentence.

Ngayon, tingnan ang pangalawang pangungusap.

I want you to use the negative.

Gusto kong gamitin mo ang negatibo.

‘I __ TV for a year before I started again.’

'Ako __ TV para sa isang taon bago ako magsimula muli.'

Remember, the negative form for this tense starts with the subject

Tandaan, ang negatibong anyo para sa panahunan na ito

ay nagsisimula sa paksa at pagkatapos ay 'hindi naging'.

and then ‘had not been’.

O maaari kong gamitin ang contraction na 'wala pa'.

Or I can use the contraction ‘hadn't’.

‘I hadn't been’ And then again, verb ‘-ing’.

'Hindi ako naging'

At pagkatapos ay muli, pandiwa '-ing'.

‘I hadn't been watching TV for a year before I started again.’

'Isang taon akong hindi nanonood ng TV bago ako nagsimulang muli.'

Now, try to find the mistake in this next sentence.

Ngayon, subukang hanapin ang pagkakamali sa susunod na pangungusap na ito.

‘Gina and I hadn't been do any work before we started.’

'Wala kaming ginagawa ni Gina bago kami magsimula.'

What's the error?

Ano ang error?

You'll notice that the verb does not have an ‘-ing’.

Mapapansin mo na ang pandiwa ay walang '-ing'.

To make the sentence correct, we must say, ‘Gina and I hadn't been doing

Upang gawing tama ang pangungusap,

dapat nating sabihin,

'Wala kaming ginagawa ni Gina bago kami magsimula.'

any work before we started.’

Now, find the mistake here.

Ngayon, hanapin ang pagkakamali dito.

‘He had be watching YouTube because he had some free time.’

'Siya ay nanonood ng YouTube

dahil mayroon siyang libreng oras.'

‘He had’, that's correct, but we need to change ‘be’ to been’.

'Mayroon siya', tama iyon,

ngunit kailangan nating baguhin ang 'maging' naging'.

And ‘watching’ is correct.

At tama ang 'pagmamasid'.

Kaya, 'Siya ay nanonood ng YouTube

So, ‘He had been watching YouTube because he had some free time.’

dahil mayroon siyang libreng oras.'

Mag move on na tayo.

Let's move on.

Now, let's move on to another checkup of the past perfect continuous tense.

Ngayon, lumipat tayo sa isa pang pagsusuri ng past perfect continuous tense.

Take a look at the first example.

Tingnan ang unang halimbawa.

It says, ‘The company __ employees because they worked hard.’

Sinasabi nito,

'Ang kumpanya ay __ empleyado dahil sila ay nagtrabaho nang husto.'

Use the verb ‘promote’ in the past perfect continuous tense.

Gamitin ang pandiwang 'promote' sa past perfect continuous tense.

Remember, no matter what the subject, we follow with ‘had been’.

Tandaan, anuman ang paksa,

sinusunod natin ang 'nagdaan'.

So we say, ‘The company had been’ and then verb ‘-ing’, so ‘promoting’.

Kaya sinasabi namin, 'The company had been'

at pagkatapos ay verb '-ing', kaya 'promoting'.

‘The company had been promoting employees because they worked hard.’

'Ang kumpanya ay nagsusulong ng mga empleyado

dahil sila ay nagtrabaho nang husto.'

The next example says, ‘I __ your emails for a while because they went to the spam

Ang susunod na halimbawa ay nagsasabing,

'Ako __ ang iyong mga email saglit

dahil napunta sila sa folder ng spam.'

folder.’

Here, try to use the negative form with the verb ‘get’.

Dito, subukang gamitin ang negatibong anyo na may pandiwa na 'kumuha'.

Remember, in the negative form, we say ‘had not been getting’

Tandaan, sa negatibong anyo,

sinasabi nating 'hindi pa nakukuha'

Or the contraction ‘hadn't been getting’.

O ang contraction ay 'hindi nakukuha'.

‘I hadn't been getting your emails for a while because they went to the spam folder.’

'Matagal ko nang hindi natatanggap ang iyong mga email

dahil napunta sila sa folder ng spam.'

Ngayon hanapin ang pagkakamali sa susunod na pangungusap.

Now look for the mistake in the next sentence.

‘I had been work a lot because I needed the money.’

'Matagal akong nagtrabaho dahil kailangan ko ng pera.'

What's the mistake?

Ano ang mali?

Remember, we need to add ‘-ing’ to the verb.

Tandaan, kailangan nating magdagdag ng '-ing' sa pandiwa.

‘I had been working a lot because I needed the money.’

'Matagal akong nagtatrabaho dahil kailangan ko ng pera.'

Ang huling pangungusap ay nagsasabing,

The last sentence says, ‘He has been smoking because he was stressed.’

'Naninigarilyo siya dahil na-stress siya.'

Can you find the mistake?

Maaari mong mahanap ang pagkakamali?

Remember, we're practicing the past perfect continuous.

Tandaan, nagsasanay kami ng past perfect tuluy-tuloy.

Sa kasong ito, kailangan natin ng 'may' pagkatapos ng paksa, hindi 'may'.

In this case, we need ‘had’ after the subject, not ‘has’.

Great job, everyone.

Mahusay na trabaho, lahat. Mag move on na tayo.

Let's move on.

Good job learning another difficult English grammar tense.

Magandang trabaho sa pag-aaral ng isa pang mahirap na English grammar tense.

The past perfect continuous can be tricky, but with time and practice, you will get better.

Ang nakaraang perpektong tuloy-tuloy ay maaaring nakakalito,

ngunit sa oras at pagsasanay,

ikaw ay magiging mas mahusay.

Ang Ingles ay hindi laging madali,

English is not always easy, but always do your best and never give up.

ngunit laging gawin ang iyong makakaya at huwag sumuko.

I'll see you in the next video.

Makikita kita sa susunod na video.
