The Past Perfect Continuous Tense (Минулий перфектно-тривалий)

The Hotel

My car reaches the hotel where I want to stay. I get out and go to the hotel office. Here I first ask if they can give me an accommodation.

“Certainly”, answers the clerk, “we have got several rooms.”

“Would you like a suite, a single room or a double room?” he continues.

I say that I would like a single room with a bathroom, a telephone, a colour TV set and a refrigerator.

The clerk says he can give me such a room on the third floor. I ask about the price of the room. He informs me of the price and soon everything is settled. I hand in my passport, fill in an arrival form and get the key to my room. Next I ask the hotel porter to carry my luggage to the room. He does as requested.

I look at my room. I like it very much. It is very comfortable. I can have a fine rest here. I ring for the chambermaid and inquire about the meals at the hotel restaurant. Next I obtain information about the hairdresser’s, about where I can have my boots cleaned, about where I can have my linen washed (if there is a laundry service at the hotel), etc. She answers all my questions.

There is a lot of time before dinner and so I settle down quietly to rest.
