Answer Key
Name:
We use the Past Perfect Simple for:
• An action which happened before another action in the past.
Ex When I arrived to the movie theater, the movie had finished.
• We can use the time clauses (when, after, before) to link two events in the past
We use the Past Perfect Simple for the event that took place first and the Past Simple for the more recent event.
Ex Many people had left, before the band started playing.
We form the Past Perfect Simple by
using the auxiliary verb had and a
verb in Past Participle:
Ex.
Before the play was over, I had cried
at least three times.
