Answer 2

Answer:

You had been speaking to someone.

Explanation:

This form of 'past perfect tense' uses past tense+ to had and add to the 'past participle' of the 'main verb'.

The past perfect sense 'refers to a time' 'earlier than before now'. It makes sure that one event has occurred before the other in the past.

It does not matter which event occurred first, the tense, however, makes it clear what had happened first.

Examples:

Had met- She had met him before the party.

Had left – 'The plane had left by the time I got to the airport.'

“We had arrived”  

“they had written”
