Good afternoon. I have a doubt, I'm student of english and I think the information about past perfect continuos is wront.... The first example say:
ResponderBorrarI had been watching a documentary on television for 30 minutes. this, in my opinion isn't past perfect continuos because the action is over... I think the correct exercise or example is: I've (I have) been watching a documentary......
I'm sorry if I'm wront..... thanks for yuor answer.
