    The document discusses the past perfect continuous tense, which refers to an ongoing action or condition that continued until a specific point in the past. It is formed using the modal verb "had" plus the verb "been" plus the present participle ("-ing" form) of the main verb. The past perfect continuous tense is used to describe the duration of an action before another past action or the cause of something in the past. Examples given are "She became ill because she had been eating unhealthy" and "He passed English because he had been studying a lot." Some verbs like "to be", "to like", and "to want" do not take the "-ing" form in the past perfect continuous tense.
