Interrogative - Yes / No Questions

Level: Upper-intermediate

This is a past perfect continuous interrogative quiz testing you on yes / no type questions. For example:

________________ (Sue / study) before we arrived?
Had Sue been studying before we arrived?

We use the past perfect to indicate that one event happened before another in the past. 'Arriving' is the second event, and the 'studying' happened before that.

The continuous is used to show something happened over a period of time i.e. the studying.
