    PERFECT PROGRESSIVE,
    PAST PERFECT & PAST
    PERFECT PROGRESSIVE
    Present Perfect
    The present perfect is often used with “since” and “for” to talk about situations that began in
    the past and continue up to now.
    Form : S + has/ have + past participle
    Example :

    In (a) SITUATION : Being a teacher from 2009 up to now

    b) I Have been here since nine o’clock


    c) Dera knows Rob. They met two months ago. She has known him for two months.
    Since VS For

    For : a length of time ( two months, three years)
    ◦ I have known Rob since I was in High School
    ◦ We have lived in an apartment since we moved to this city

    A time clause may follow since. The verb before since is present perfect. The verb in the time
    clause is simple past.
    Let’s practice !

    2. Since Maria was/has been a child, she loved/ has loved the outdoors.

    Past Perfect Tense
    The past perfect expresses an activity that was complete before another activity or time the past
    Form : S + Had + V3
    Example :
    ◦ Sam came at 10.00
    ◦ Ann left at 9.30
    ◦ Ann had already left when Sam came / Sam came, Ann had already left
    The past perfect tense
    The past perfect is commonly used in reported speech. If the actual spoken words use the
    simple past, the past perfect is often used in reporting words
    ◦ S + Had + V3

    For example :
    ◦ I lost my keys
    ◦ Jenny said that she had lost her keys ( Reported speech)

    The past perfect is found in more formal writing such as a fiction. In the fiction, writer uses the
    simple past to say that an event happened. Then uses the past perfect to explain what had
    happened before that event
    For example:
    ◦ Bill felt great that evening. Earlier in the day, Annie had caught one fish, and he had caught three. They
    had had a delicious picnic near the lake and then had gone swimming again. It had been a nearly perfect
    vacation day.

    ◦ I’d left
    ◦ I’d = I had
    ◦ I’d like to leave
    ◦ I’d = I would
    Past perfect progressive
    The past progressive emphasizes the duration of an activity that was in progress before another
    activity or time in the past
    The past progressive is used infrequently compared to other verb tenses
    ◦ S + had been + V-Ing

    For example:
    ◦ Eric had been looking for the criminal for two years before they caught him
    Past perfect progressive
    This tense also may express an activity in progress close in time to another activity or time in the
    past.
    For example:
    ◦ When judy got home, her hair was still wet because she had been swimming

    This tense also occurs in reported speech


    ◦ I have been waiting for you
    ◦ Lia told me that she had been waiting for me
