had been doing這是過去完成進行時;表示從過去的某一個時間點開始做某事一直持續(xù)到過去的某個時間點并且仍在進行。放在間接引語或虛擬語氣中時它的時態(tài)不能再向前推，向后推是現(xiàn)在完成進行時。

had been doing 和had been done的差別

1、首先要區(qū)分has been done與 had been done的區(qū)別：

have/has been done 是現(xiàn)在完成時的被動語態(tài)。表示某事被做，。

如：The problems have been solved.這些問題已經(jīng)被解決了。

had been done 則是過去的過去，是過去完成的被動態(tài)時。(當你想說發(fā)生在過去的兩件事時，就要分清誰先誰后。先發(fā)生的用過去完成時，后發(fā)生的要用過去時)。

如：The rooms had been cleaned when I came. 我來的時候，房間已經(jīng)被打掃了。

2、區(qū)分has/have been doing與 had been doing

has/have been doing是現(xiàn)在完成進行時，并對現(xiàn)在有影響。

如句子：I have been dreaming all the night.

had been doing是過去完成進行時，也是過去的過去，需要時間先后順序的對比.

如：I had been doing the cleaning before my mother arrived at home.
