Comment:
This example Illustrates the order tense-V-perfective.participle.marker. When the V is a main verb, the order is tense-perfective-V. The example also illustrates the fact that the progressive marker follows the V.
The communication verb is implied - it could be saying, claiming, telling [us] etc.
