Answer and Explanation:
This question is about the short story "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allan Poe.
The narrator is originally a good man who, in the end, kills his own wife and their black cat.
Poe uses several symbols to portray the narrator's mental state. <u>The original household, a good house where the narrator and his wife lived with several pets, represents freedom and balance. That was when the narrator was still a sane, loving man. The fire that destroys his home represents the decay of his mental state, its deterioration. Just like the fire consumed the house, alcoholism is consuming the narrator and his qualities. Finally, the impoverished house and the cellar - damp, dark, and suffocating - represent his insanity. The narrator is now trapped in his own craziness.</u>
Answer:
After changing the sentence into the past perfect form, we have:
They had watched the movie (yesterday).
Explanation:
The past perfect tense is used to express actions that took place in the past before another action that also took place in the past. Take a look at the timeline below:
-----------------I -----------------I -----------------I-----------------I
past perf. s. past s. present future
The structure of the past perfect is: subject + had + verb (past participle). It is commonly used in sentences that also use the simple past, precisely because the past perfect expresses the action that took place first. For example:
- I had already called you twice when you finally showed up.
In the sentence we are changing here, I placed the adverb of time "yesterday" inside parentheses because it is usually employed with the simple past. However, depending on the context, it is possible for it to be used with the past perfect:
They had watched the movie (yesterday).
But it sounds better if we change "yesterday":
They had watched the movie the day before.
Both sentences would be correct.
