In this episode of Thinking in English, host Tom Wilkinson explores the past perfect continuous tense, using the 2008 financial crisis as a case study.
The episode covers the grammar rules and structures of the past perfect continuous tense, emphasising its usage to describe actions that started in the past, continued for some time, and were ongoing or just finished before another event.
The lesson includes in-depth examples and concludes with a discussion on Michael Burry, who had been predicting the financial collapse for years.
