Sure, I'll fill in the blanks with the appropriate verb forms:

1. Why didn't you have some dessert? - I had eaten too much already. (Past Perfect: "had eaten")

2. How long had you been living in Brazil before you moved here? - About 10 years. (Past Perfect Continuous: "had been living")

3. Did you watch the comedy on Channel 4 yesterday? - No. It had finished by the time I got home. (Past Perfect: "had finished")

4. Was she there when you arrived? - No, she had already left. (Past Perfect: "had left")

5. Why was Brad so exhausted last night? - He had been working since 9 o'clock in the morning. (Past Perfect Continuous: "had been working")

6. What did he think of the photo exhibition? - He loved it. He said he had never seen such beautiful photos before. (Past Perfect: "had never seen")

In these sentences, the past perfect tense is used to indicate that an action happened before another action in the past, while the past perfect continuous tense is used to show the duration of an action that occurred before another action in the past.
