Para formar el pasado perfecto continuo necesitamos el pasado perfecto simple del verbo "to be" (ser, estar) y otro verbo terminado en "-ing".
Ejemplo
I had been studying for weeks before my final exams.
Había estado estudiando durante semanas antes de mis exámenes finales
Algunos verbos tienen ciertos cambios de ortografía cuando añadimos "-ing". Si el verbo termina en "-e" quitaremos la "e" y luego añadiremos "-ing".
Ejemplo
I decorate the living room.
Decoro el salón
I had been decorating the living room.
Había estado decorando el salón
Si el verbo está formado por sólo una sílaba y las tres últimas letras son: consonante más vocal más consonante, doblaremos la última consonante y luego añadimos "-ing".
Ejemplo
I plan my weekend ahead.
Planeo el fin de semana que viene
I had been planning my weekend ahead.
Había estado planeando el fin de semana que viene
Para la forma negativa usamos "not" (no) detrás del verbo "to have" (tener, haber).
Ejemplo
I had not (hadn't) been watching television all afternoon.
No había estado viendo la televisión toda la tarde
Para la forma interrogativa colocamos el verbo "to have" (tener, haber) delante de la persona.
Ejemplo
Had he been training all those hours?
¿Había estado (él) entrenando todas esas horas?
ALGUNOS USOS GENERALES
Utilizamos este tiempo para referirnos a eventos pasados que eran continuos y fueron llevado a cabo durante un periodo de tiempo en el pasado.
Ejemplo
He had been waiting for his parcel for one week.
Él había estado esperando su paquete durante una semana
I had been studying all morning.
Había estado estudiando toda la mañana
También podemos utilizar el pasado perfecto continuo para mencionar una acción continua en el pasado que tiene consecuencias en el presente o en el pasado especificando cuando comenzó la acción. Podemos expresar el momento en el que la acción continua empezó utilizando un adverbio de tiempo o una frase que indique un punto en el tiempo.
Ejemplo
Since he watched that film, he had not been sleeping properly.
Desde que vio esa película, él no había estado durmiendo bien
Vamos a conjugar un verbo a modo de ejemplo. Vamos a coger el verbo "to study" (estudiar).
