Глаголы, которые не употребляются в Continuous

Не со всеми глаголами можно образовать Past Perfect Continuous. Это глаголы, которые не имеют формы Continuous. Их много, поэтому я приведу список лишь самых частых глаголов, не употребляемых в Continuous:

be - быть

have - иметь

want - хотеть

know - знать

need - нуждаться

love - любить

like - нравиться

hate - ненавидеть

understand - понимать

taste - пробовать на вкус

*have не употребляется только в значении "иметь". I had had my laptop for 3 years already when it broke. - У меня был этот ноутбук уже 3 года, когда он сломался. Но, если have является частью устойчивой фразы и не означает непосредственно обладать чем-то, то его можно употребить в Continuous. Например, She had been having a shower for 10 minutes when the water was cut off. - Она принимала душ 10 минут, когда отключили воду.

Если c такими глаголами надо образовать предложение, в котором по смыслу должно быть Past Perfect Continuous, то мы употребляем вместо него Past Perfect. Например:

Mike had always loved honey before a bee stung him on the face. - Майк всегда любил мед, до того как пчела укусила его в лицо. (Mike had always been loving honey before a bee stung him on the face.)

Маркеры

Маркеры - это слова, которые помогают определить время. Для Past Perfect Continuous это:

since - с (каких-то пор)

for - в течение
