Finally, we have studied this subject!

I know, it was not easy for all of you, but when we are here we have to practice. This is not in my rules to leave my students without a lot of homework.

Yesterday we did some exercises just to recall the rules; today the practice would be more intense. Remember: practice makes perfect.

Change back to the Present Perfect:

• He had done his part of the deal.
• I had found new way of playing the violin.
• I did not know why she had changed her mind.
• We did everything we could, but he said that we had had to do much more!
• You had heard the joke before, so that is why you did not laugh yesterday.

Change back to the Present Perfect Continuous:

• She had been singing the main part of the opera when suddenly she coughed.
• It had been snowing. We can see a lot of snow banks.
• I had been swimming in the river when I heard her voice.
• We had been dreaming when the bell rang.
• They had been writing the test when the storm broke.
