3.4 PAST PERFECT TENSE

The Past Perfect Tense
We use this tense in order to talk about a finished action before or after a point in the past.
Example: When we arrived, the film had started (= first the film started, then we arrived).
Maybe we are already talking about something in the past and we want to mention
something else that is further back in time. Thus, Past Perfect is often used to explain or
give a reason for something in the past.
I had eaten dinner so I wasn't hungry.
It had snowed at night, so the bus didn't arrive.
Time Expressions in the Past Perfect:
The time expressions already, for, since, and yet may be used in the past perfect, as they
are in the present perfect. Remember the following rules for using other time expressions:
Use after, as soon as, the moment that, until before using the past perfect.
Ex: After she had moved out, I found her notes. I didn’t say anything until she had finished
talking.
Use before, when, by the time before the past simple:
Ex. Before I knew it, she had run out the door. / By the time he phoned her, she had found
someone new.

Some examples of the past perfect tense can be seen in the following sentences:
She stayed up all night because she had received bad news.
They lost many of the games because they had not practiced enough.
Anthony had met Ryan before you introduced him to us at the party.
You had studied Italian before you moved to Rome.
She had established her company before 2008.
He had never played football until last week.
They had gotten engaged before last year.
I had fallen asleep before eight o'clock.
PRACTICE.
MAKE PAST PERFECT SIMPLE ‘YES / NO’ OR ‘WH’ QUESTIONS:
1. _______________________ (you / go) there before we went together?

2. _______________________ (she / see) the film already?
3. Why _______________________ (he / forgot) about the meeting?
4. _______________________ (it / be) cold all week?
5. _______________________ (I / read) the book before the class?
6. When she arrived, _______________________ (we / eat) already?
7. Where _______________________ (you / be) when I saw you?
8. _______________________ (they / travel) by bullet train before?
9. __________________ (John / meet) Lucy before they went on holiday together?
10. _______________________ (you / do) your homework before I saw you?
Fill in the gaps with the words at the very end of the sentences in Past Perfect
Tense.
1. They told us that the children ___________ all the cake. (eat)
2. Why didn't you go to bed after you ___________supper? (have)
3. By that time, we ________ your telegram. (Already get)
4. She ______ all her money before her father _________. (spend / come)
5. Your letter ________ five minutes after he _______. (come / leave)
6. I ______ him for the flowers he _______ me. (thank / send)
