Past perfect continuous 

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:

 Ex : He had been drinking milk out the carton when Mom walked into the kitchen.

He had been throwing rocks at her window for five minutes before she finally came out on the balcony and said, “Hey, Romeo.”
