The past perfect continuous tense is used to talk about an action that started before another action in the past and was continuing when the second action happened. It is formed with the auxiliary verb "had been" and the present participle of the main verb.
For example:

•The rain had been falling for hours when we arrived.
•The train had been delayed for an hour when we finally boarded.
•In Sinhala, the past perfect continuous tense is formed with the auxiliary verb "සිටියා තිබුණි" (siṭiyā tibuṇi) and the present participle of the main verb.
