Hi!
Would anyone be able to help me out on the differences in the below sentences?
1. It had been snowing when I built a snowman.
2. It was snowing when I built a snowman.
3. It had been snowing.
4. It had snowed.
Thank you :)
Past perfect continuous vs past continuous/past perfect

Re: Past perfect continuous vs past continuous/past perfect
I'm not good enough to understand any of your sentences.
I wonder if you can get mine
5) It snowed for a long time before I started to build a snowman.
6) It was snowing while I was building a snowman.
7) I stopped building the snowman before I had made it, and took a walk with my dog.
8) I patted the dog which had been wandering with me since I had stopped building the snowman.
9) At length, I finished the snowman which I'd started to build yesterday.
