Read the sentence below. Identify the progressive or emphatic verb tense that is used in the sentence.

The Cougars had been winning until the third quarter of the game. (1 point)

past progressive
present progressive
past perfect progressive
present perfect progressive

Answers

Answer:

Past perfect progressive

Explanation:

The past perfect continuous tense (also known as the past perfect progressive tense) shows that an action that started in the past continued up until another time in the past. The past perfect progressive tense is constructed using: had been + the verb's present participle (root + -ing).

So the general form of past perfect progressive/continuous is:

Had +been+ verb +ing.

Hope this helps you, have a great day

The sentence "The Cougars had been winning until the third quarter of the game" is in the past perfect progressive tense. The correct option is C.

What is past perfect progressive?

Past perfect progressive (also called past perfect continuous) is a verb tense that is used to describe an ongoing action that started in the past and continued up until another point in the past.

It is formed by using the auxiliary verb "had" in the past tense, followed by "been" and the present participle (-ing form) of the main verb. For example, "I had been studying for three hours before I took a break."

The past perfect progressive tense emphasizes the duration of the action and the continuity of the action up to a specific time in the past. It is often used to describe the background of a past event or to show that one action was in progress when another action happened.

Here in the Question,

Option A (past progressive) would be incorrect because it describes an ongoing action in the past without indicating that the action continued up until another point in the past.

Option B (present progressive) would be incorrect because it describes an ongoing action in the present, while the sentence is discussing a past event.

Option D (present perfect progressive) would be incorrect because it describes an ongoing action that started in the past and continued up to the present, whereas the sentence is discussing an action that occurred entirely in the past.

Therefore, The sentence "The Cougars had been winning until the third quarter of the game" is in the (C) past perfect progressive tense. This tense is used to describe an ongoing action that was happening in the past and continued up until another point in the past.

What is a Novel?

A novel is a lengthy piece of prose-based narrative fiction that is published as a book.

A novel is a book of a narrative or stories (in the case of the collection of short stories) written in not less than forty thousand words. A book is written on a specific subject without a defined count for the minimum number of words to be utilized. Any collection of stories with fewer words is not a novel.

The word "long work of prose fiction" that we use in English today comes from the Italian "novella," which means "new," "news," or "a short story of something new," and is derived from the Latin "novella," which is a singular noun use of the neuter plural of "novelus," which is a diminutive of "novus," meaning "new."
