     我伲一到拉坐个，坐惯拉个，有板数勒拉个。 [Shanghainese, simp.]

     From: 2010, Qian Nairong, 《從〈滬語便商〉所見的老上海話時態》 (Tenses and Aspects? Old Shanghainese as Found in the Book Huyu Bian Shang)

     We used to sit on ricksaws like this, we used to be used to sitting like this, and there are already rules there.

Usage notes

• The past perfect cannot be indicated with a particle in contemporary Shanghainese. Instead, an initial temporal reference frame is set up, and the event in which Old Shanghainese would use the past perfective would be stated in the perfective.
• The difference between the two senses is that the prior has to appear back to back, while the latter can appear separate and encircles the main verb.
