Past perfect

Regular verbs

Irregular verbs

Grammatical rules Igual que en el present perfect, se forma el past perfect con el verbo auxiliar "to have" y el participio pasado. El verbo auxiliar estará en pasado.
1. La contracción “-’d” también se utiliza con el verbo modal “would” para formar el condicional. Como tal, la forma corta “I’d” puede tener dos significados diferentes. Podemos distinguir entre estos dos significados por la forma del verbo principal que les sigue. Si queremos decir “I’d” en el sentido de pasado perfecto, el verbo principal está en la forma de participio pasado, mientras que con el condicional, “I’d” va seguido por el verbo en infinitivo. Example: I'd visited Cancun in Mexico last summer. (Yo había visitado Cancún en México el último verano). I'd like visite Cancun in Mexico once again (Me gustaría visitar Cancún en México una vez más).
