Past perfect and Past Past Perfect Progressive When Sarah studied in primary school she wanted a dog. She ( hasn't ) her dog before and here is a story of how she got it.  The Summer holidays of 2019 just started. Half of June Sarah ( had been spending ) in a city with her parents. Sarah as usual ( had been asking ) her parents to buy a puppy.  One day father said to Sarah: - “We are going to the village. Your grandpa very missed us and he ( had been waiting ) us for all June. When I ( had come ) at work yesterday he rang me. We ( had been talking ) for an hour and he invited us to visit him. Also, he said that he had a gift for you, Sarah”.  The next day Sarah’s family went to grandpa. Grandpa  ( had already waited ) in front of his house when they arrived. They all were very happy to meet each other after a long time. And oh no! he ( had held ) a cute white puppy on his hands when they went out of a car.  - “Sarah it is a gift for you,” said grandpa and gave the puppy to Sarah. Grandpa bought the puppy one week ago. The puppy ( had already been waiting ) Sarah 7 days before she came. Sarah was on the seventh sky.
