I had been waiting for an hour before the train came in. Я ждал час, пока подошел поезд.
The boy had been walking for a long time and he felt hot. Мальчик шел уже долгое время, и ему было жарко.

 

В этих предложениях действие, выраженное Past Perfect Continuous, уже началось до какого-то момента в прошлом и еще продолжалось в этот момент (мальчик еще шел в том момент, когда ему стало жарко) или закончилось в этот момент (см. 1-й пример).

Глаголы в Past Perfect Continuous переводятся глаголами в прошедшем времени, иногда с добавлением уже.

Future Perfect Continuous

 

By the end of the day the engine will have been working forty eight hours. К концу дня машина уже про работает 48 часов.

 

Здесь аналогичная мысль: машина начнет работать до конца дня, и в момент окончания дня она еще будет работать.

При переводе Future Perfect Continuous употребляется будущее время.

Страдательного залога времена группы Perfect Continuous не имеют.
