[عماد ذكي]

في هذه الحاله اللي حضرتك كاتبها لابد ان يكون حدث دائم او طويل امدا يفضل استخدام الماضي التام البسيط زاي محضرتك اشرت بالامثلة
فين في المثلة
الامثلة :

The past perfect can be used similarly for an action which began before the time of speaking in the past, and

(a) was still continuing at that time or

(b) stopped at that time or just before it.

But note that the past perfect can also be used:

(c) for an action which stopped some time before the time of speaking.

Examples of types (a), (b) and (c) are given below:

(a) Bill was in uniform when I met him. He had been a soldier for ten years/since he was seventeen, and planned to stay in the army till he was thirty.

Ann had lived in a cottage for sixty years/ever since she was born, and had no wish to move to a tower block. (The past perfect continuous tense had been living would also be possible here.)

(b) The old oak tree, which had stood in the churchyard/or 300 years/since before the church was built, suddenly crashed to the ground. (The past perfect continuous tense had been standing would also be possible here.)

Peter, who had waited for an hour/since ten o'clock, was very angry with his sister when she eventually turned up. (had been waiting would also be possible.)

الامثله فيها ماضي تام ويمكن ان يحل محله ماضي تام مستمر
