Hello. This is Wilber.
In this lesson a learned the structure of the Past Perfect Continuous:
Subject + had + been + verb – ing
These are new words/expressions for me:
To come along (accompany someone)
To turn out (Happen in a particular way)
Street vendor (a person who offers goods or services for sale to the public without having a permanently built structure)
To check out (Visit a place in order to learn about it)
To look forward (Feel excited about something that is going to happen)
To nod means to move your head up and down to show approval.
To keep an eye on someone/something: if you keep an eye on something or someone you watch them carefully.
Way too (to A degree that is very excessive)
tugged (pull)
Well done, Wilber. 🙂
