To Find - Choose the correct option.

He told me that he had been ill for six days.

Had been is comparable to have been and has been, but it distinguishes between events that started and finished in the past. The past perfect and past perfect progressive tenses both employ it.

When describing activities or occurrences that began before a certain point in time in the past but were still ongoing at that point, we use the past perfect continuous: Getting out of bed on Monday to go to school was so challenging. I was quite exhausted because I had spent the previous night working on my essays.
