Explain :

Past Perfect Continuous Tense की क्रिया से यह बोध होता है कि कोई कार्य भूतकाल ( Past ) मे लगातार कुछ समय तक जारी रहा था ।  जैसे :-

मै दो वर्षो से पढ रहा था ।     i  had been reading for two years.

Note :- इस Tense मे  had been  के साथ V-ing का रहना आवश्यक है । अतः ( He had been ill – वह बीमार रहा था ) मे  Verb Past Perfect Tense  मे है  ।  Past Perfect Continuous Tense मे नही  । ऐसा Verb का Present Participal रूप ( V-ing ) नही रहने के कारण हुआ है ।

जबकि इस वाक्य के भाव से स्पष्ट है । कि बीमार रहने की स्थिति भूतकाल मे कुछ समय तक लगातार जारी रही  ।  अतः यह कोई आवश्यक नही है कि जो कार्य व्यापार भूतकाल मे कुछ समय तक लगातार जारी रहा हो उसके लिए Past Perfect Continuous Tense की क्रिया का ही प्रयोग किया जाए ।

अनेक परिस्थितियों मे इस तरह के भाव को दिखाने के लिए Past Perfect Tense का प्रयोग किया जाता है, ( प्रायः for/since के साथ ) आप English Sentence के अर्थ/भाव के अनुसार Tense का नामाकरणा न करें, वाक्य मे प्रयुक्त Verb Phrase के ढांचे को देखकर ही नामाकरण करें ।

बहुत से लोग Tense के नामाकरण मे भूल करते हैं  ।  अर्थ/भाव के अनुसार अनुवाद किया जाता है ।  परंतु अनुवाद कर लेने के बाद Tense का नामकरण English Sentence के Verb phrage के रूप को देखकर ही होंगा ।   जैसे

प्रधानमंत्री कल आएँगे ।  मे प्रयुक्त क्रिया भविष्यतकाल मे है । परंतु इसका अनुवाद भाव को देखते हुए होगा  ।  The Prime Minister comes Tomorrow. ( Present Indefinite Tense की क्रिया )

तुम कभी भी पढते नहीं रहे थे ।  You had never been reading.
क्या आप सुबह से पढ रहे थे ?  Had you been reading since morning ?
