 Past Perfect and Past Perfect continuos

In English the past perfect and past perfect continuous for me are the most difficult thing in the past tense, I found they hard because I do not really know how and when I have to use they also is hard to include those tenses in a conversation. I am going to show you how I study this and which materials I used for a better comprehension of this topic.

First we need to make a line and keep the order always in our mind.

          

           Past perfect   -------PPC--------   Simple past   -------  P Prog----    Present 

        _______l_______________________l_______________________l__

 PPC means Past Perfect Continuous had it has those lines because is an action that started in the past continued up until another time in the past.

Another thing to keep in mind is the construction of these past tenses:

Past perfect =

Had + past participle

Past Perfect Continuous=

Had been + present participle

We can see many ways to study this I am giving to you some examples.

Heroes

When we were young, almost all the television programs showed us heroes, that is why everybody want to have a hero. Heroes in the programs are the ones who saves the world, and also they do good thinks for the society. Someone can be hero if he or she has super powers or also if she or he has strength or intelligence. The problem is how would you are going to find a hero if the humans does not has super powers?

Nowadays I know how is a real hero but in my childhood, when I was a child I remember I was watching Superman and I had not been so wrong in my because I thought that a real super hero has to fly and fight. I had been thinking for more than 5 years why heroes need to have super powers because for me a real hero is someone who is had been working long hours just to bring the food to the family, someone that can make you laugh or someone can help other people. Which hero do you think is the best, the one who saves the world with super power or the other one without super powers? I had thought this and for me is the second one just for a big difference, they are real.

One day someone asked me who you think is the best hero and I was thinking when suddenly I said my parents, and my friend was like “no no being real” and I said to him “you know what they are my heroes look at me I have a good things, they let me study and I am never hungry for me they save my world every day” and then he said I am agree with you.

Please try to be a hero there is so many things you can do to help another people and doing that you are going to know how cool is to help another people and make them happy.
