| Sep 2, 2020 at 14:30 | comment | added | Herman Streltsov | @KateBunting Yes, I mean these kind of actions. In my case it says: "I’d been driving home late that night. As I came up to my house, my headlights landed on the biggest deer I had ever seen, right in the middle of the road." Is it Past Perfect Continuous? | |
| Sep 2, 2020 at 14:08 | comment | added | Kate Bunting | When you say 'supposed to have two actions', do you mean something like I'd been driving home late when I'd heard the news on the car radio? | |

| Sep 2, 2020 at 12:43 | comment | added | Peter | It is "had". Sounds like there are more sentences to follow though. | |
