大家好。

Hi, everybody.

我是埃丝特。

I'm Esther.

让我们开始检查一下过去完成进行时。

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

看看第一句话。

Take a look at the first sentence.

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

上面写着，

“他们回家之前__了很长时间。”

尝试用这种时态的动词“work”填空。

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’.

请记住，无论主语是什么，

我们都在主语后面加上“曾经是”。

So we say, ‘They had been’.

所以我们说，“他们曾经是”。

What happens to the verb?

动词会发生什么情况？

Remember, we add ‘-ing’.

请记住，我们添加“-ing”。

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

所以这句话是，

“他们回家之前已经工作了很长时间。”

Now, take a look at the second sentence.

现在，看一下第二句话。

I want you to use the negative.

我希望你使用否定。

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

“我在电视上看了一年才重新开始。”

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

请记住，这种时态的否定形式

以主语开头，然后是“had not be”。

and then ‘had not been’.

或者我可以使用缩写“hadn't”。

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

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

“我没有”，

然后又是动词“-ing”。

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

“在我重新开始看电视之前，我已经一年没看电视了。”

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

现在，尝试找出下一句话中的错误。

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

“吉娜和我在开始之前没有做任何工作。”

What's the error?

有什么错误？

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

您会注意到该动词没有“-ing”。

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

为了使这句话正确，

我们必须说，

“吉娜和我在开始之前没有做任何工作。”

any work before we started.’

Now, find the mistake here.

现在，找出这里的错误。

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

“他一直在看 YouTube，

因为他有一些空闲时间。”

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

“他曾经”，这是正确的，

但我们需要将“是”改为“是”。

And ‘watching’ is correct.

“观看”是正确的。

所以，“他一直在观看 YouTube，

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

因为他有一些空闲时间。”

让我们继续。

Let's move on.

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

现在，让我们继续检查过去完成进行时。

Take a look at the first example.

看一下第一个例子。

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

上面写着：

“公司 __ 员工因为他们工作努力。”

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

使用过去完成进行时态的动词“promote”。

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

请记住，无论主语是什么，

我们都跟在“曾经是”之后。

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

所以我们说，“The company had was”，

然后是动词“-ing”，即“促销”。

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

“公司一直在提拔员工，

因为他们工作努力。”

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

下一个示例表示：

“我暂时将您的电子邮件暂时删除，

因为它们进入了垃圾邮件文件夹。”

folder.’

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

在这里，尝试使用动词“get”的否定形式。

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

请记住，在否定形式中，

我们说“had not be getting”

Or the contraction ‘hadn't been getting’.

或缩写“hadn not were getting”。

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

“我已经有一段时间没有收到你的电子邮件了，

因为它们进入了垃圾邮件文件夹。”

现在找出下一句话中的错误。

Now look for the mistake in the next sentence.

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

“我一直在工作，因为我需要钱。”

What's the mistake?

有什么错误吗？

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

请记住，我们需要在动词后添加“-ing”。

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

“我一直在工作，因为我需要钱。”

最后一句话是：

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

“他因为压力太大而一直抽烟。”

Can you find the mistake?

你能找出其中的错误吗？

Remember, we're practicing the past perfect continuous.

请记住，我们正在练习过去完成进行时。

在这种情况下，我们在主语后面需要“had”，而不是“has”。

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

Great job, everyone.

干得好，大家。让我们继续。

Let's move on.

Good job learning another difficult English grammar tense.

学习另一种困难的英语语法时态，干得好。

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

过去完成进行时可能会很棘手，

但随着时间和练习，

你会变得更好。

英语并不总是那么容易，

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

但永远要尽力而为，永不放弃。
