Exercise grammar for language

The Past Perfect Progressive tense, known as โ€œPluskvamperfektumโ€ in Norwegian, is used for emphasizing the duration of an action that was completed before another action took place in the past. It expresses what has been happening at a certain point in time or for how long something had been happening before something else occurred. This tense is formed by using the past perfect version of โ€œรฅ vรฆreโ€ (to be) which is โ€œhadde vรฆrtโ€ and adding the past participle of the main verb.
