tense
What is this tense . . .
. . . and when do we use it in English?
 Meaning of Past Perfect:
~Use 1: Completed Action Before Something in the Past

•The Past Perfect expresses the idea that

something occurred before another action in
the past.
•It can also show that something happened
before a specific time inthe past
 Examples:
~Use 1: Completed Action Before
Something in the Past

1. She only understood the

movie because she had
read the book.

2. I had never seen such a

beautiful sunset before I
went to Hawaii.
 Meaning of Past Perfect:
~Use 2: Duration Before Something in the Past

•We can also use the Past Perfect to show

that something started in the past and
continued up until another action in the past.

~Use 2:
Duration Before Something in the Past

1. We had owned our

car for 10 years
before it finally died.

possible to use specific time words or phrases
with the Past Perfect.

necessary.
 Example:

simple past OR the

Past Perfect tense
How do we make the
present perfect tense
in English?

Can you think of the

grammar rule?
 Form:
This grammar has 2
parts:
 Negative Form:
had not + verb (past participle)

OR
hadn’t + verb (past participle)

Example:
The teacher hadn’t finished
correcting papers when
the students started to
arrive.
 More Practice:
Complete each sentence with the
past perfect form of the verb given.
Karen
(finish)
making dinner by the time
her husband came home.

When I arrived at the store,

it (close)
already.
