(Past continuous because that action was in progress at a an accurate moment in the past) 3) They were walking home when suddenly it started to rain. ( here 2 actions took place in the same time and the first action is in progress. then we need the past continuous) 4) We had been living there for months before we finally met the neighbours. ( a continuous action in the past where we specified a period of time. then the past perfect continuous might be correct) 5) Jag was listening to the radio when someone knocked on the door.

Thank you Emma! it isn't easy to grasp the difference between these two tenses but as usual you managed to convey it. As I understood we use the past continuos for a progressive action in a specific moment while we use the past perfect continuos to focus on the continuity of an action that started in a not specified time. I suppose it's the same difference we find between present continuos and present perfect continuos. Thnak you again.

[@darion9643]

Present continuous and present perfect continues are easier and more understandable

[@camillewong8265]

Emma explains grammar really well! I know not a few English teachers who are native speakers yet always have a problem with these tenses. But here in this video what Emma tried to explain using the following two example sentences really confuses me: she said the cooking was incomplete and the food wasn't ready in the sentence "Julia had been cooking for hours when the guests arrived," while she said the hard work was done in the sentence "she had been working very hard and the presentation was finally done." So does the past perfect continuous show an ongoing action was complete or not before the second action took place? Hopefully someone can help me with this.
