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.
- I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai.
- I did not have any money because I had lost my wallet.
- I had never seen such a beautiful beach before I went to Kauai.
- The Past Perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past.
- USE 2 Duration Before Something in the Past (Non-Continuous Verbs)
- With Non-Continuous Verbs and some non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, we use the Past Perfect to show that
something started in the past and continued up until another action in the past.
- We had had that car for ten years before it broke down.
- By the time Alex finished his studies, he had been in London for over eight years.
- We had had that car for ten years before it broke down.
- With Non-Continuous Verbs and some non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs, we use the Past Perfect to show that
something started in the past and continued up until another action in the past.
- Unlike with the Present Perfect, it is possible to use specific time words or phrases with the Past Perfect.
Although this is possible, it is usually not necessary.
