In past perfect continuous tense, we mean to say someone was doing something in the past from some time. The structure of sentence is,
"had" as helping verb + "been" + 1st form of verb+ing and use of since and for
For example,
He had been playing badminton since morning.
That student had been absent for two 2 days.
We use 'since' when we talk from a fixed time e.g since morning, since yesterday, since morning.
We use 'for' when we talk in terms of a calculated time e.g for 2 hours, for 3 weeks, for 1 year
Any confusion?
