Mr. P./Marc will talk about the Past Perfect Continuous in this lesson. This tense is mainly used with the Past Simple to express an action in progress before another action in the past. It is easily confused with the Past Continuous. He will explain the difference between these two tenses.
Even if the lesson is mainly designated for elementary students who wish to study or review English grammar and vocabulary, it would also help students who are at an advanced level and wish to brush up on English grammar.
