Sua primeira pergunta está vindo.
A ordem de sempre
Cinco lugares: palavra interrogativa — had — sujeito — been — forma em -ing.
Why had the alarm been ringing?
How long had
A pergunta para a qual este tempo existe. Ela indaga por um trecho que já havia corrido até um ponto passado:
By the time he resigned, how long had he been working there?
A resposta leva for com uma duração ou since com um ponto de partida.
Quando who é o sujeito
Nada troca de lugar, e a pergunta normalmente carrega uma acusação:
- Who had been smoking in here?
- What had been causing the noise?
Na fala relatada
O relato devolve a pergunta à ordem comum, e o tempo não consegue recuar mais — já está no ponto mais atrás a que o inglês chega:
- direta: How long had they been waiting?
- relatada: She asked how long they had been waiting.
