Rewriting Continuity Answer Key

In this worksheet, students practice converting sentences into the past perfect continuous tense to show events that had been happening before a later moment. They begin by rewriting simple practice sentences, ensuring the time relationship between actions stays logical. Next, they revise context sentences to illustrate the ongoing action that preceded another event. The final section asks students to creatively expand short prompts into full past perfect continuous sentences, requiring thoughtful reasoning about cause, timing, and continuity. This worksheet helps students recognize how verb tenses signal the duration and sequence of actions.
