Answer 1

Although the sun was shining it was still cold as it had been raining hard.
Here you are at last. I have been waiting for you fot fifteen minutes already.
By 8 o`clock I will have been writing the report for 2 hours

Answer 2

Although the sun was shining, it was still cold as it rained hard. Here you are at last. I have been waiting for you for fifteen minutes already. By 8 o'clock, I had been writing the report for 2 hours.

In this sentence, the phrase "although the sun was shining" introduces a contrasting condition to the main clause. It implies that despite the sunny weather, it was still cold due to the heavy rain. The conjunction "although" is used to connect these two contrasting ideas.

The phrase "Here you are at last" indicates relief or satisfaction upon the arrival of the person being addressed. It suggests that the person has been eagerly awaited and their arrival is finally happening.

The sentence "I have been waiting for you for fifteen minutes already" expresses the duration of time the speaker has spent waiting. It indicates that the speaker has been waiting for the addressed person for fifteen minutes and emphasizes the length of time that has passed.

Finally, the sentence "By 8 o'clock, I had been writing the report for 2 hours" suggests that at 8 o'clock, the speaker had already been engaged in writing the report for a duration of 2 hours. The past perfect tense "had been writing" is used to indicate an action that started in the past and continued up until a specific point in time (in this case, 8 o'clock).

I hope this explanation helps clarify the meaning of the sentence and how the various elements within it contribute to the overall context. Let me know if you have any further questions!
