Accepted Answer

Перевод задания: Отметьте правильное предложение.

a) When we finally arrived, we had been flying for nine hours. (Когда мы наконец прибыли, мы летели уже девять часов.) Past Perfect Continuous показывает действие, которое продолжалось до другого момента в прошлом.
b) Marina and Kirill had known each other for only three months when they decided to get married. (Марина и Кирилл знали друг друга всего три месяца, когда решили пожениться.) Глагол know обычно не употребляется в длительном времени, поэтому здесь нужен Past Perfect.
a) After I had been waiting for over two hours, my suitcase finally arrived. (После того как я прождал больше двух часов, мой чемодан наконец прибыл.) Ожидание длилось до момента прибытия чемодана.
b) He had been working as an engine driver for ten years when he lost his job. (Он проработал машинистом десять лет, когда потерял работу.) Потеря работы — событие, прервавшее продолжавшуюся до того работу; в главной части используется Past Simple.
a) When I switched the computer off, I had been writing emails all day. (Когда я выключил компьютер, я весь день писал электронные письма.) Длительное действие предшествовало моменту выключения компьютера.
