<h3>○ <u>Answer</u> ○ </h3>

  • When the order of events is not followed , the past perfect tense is used to tell the correct order :
  • <em>before</em><em> </em><em>going</em><em> </em><em>out</em><em> </em><em>for</em><em> </em><em>lunch</em><em> </em><em>,</em><em> </em><em>he</em><em> </em><em>had</em><em> </em><em>put</em><em> </em><em>on</em><em> </em><em>his</em><em> </em><em>coat</em><em> </em><em>.</em><em> </em>

  • The past perfect tense is used to express a completed action before some special event / action that we have in our mind :
  • <em>By</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>time</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>began</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>snow</em><em>, </em><em> </em><em>they</em><em> </em><em>had</em><em> </em><em>reached</em><em> </em><em>home</em><em> </em><em>.</em><em> </em>

<em>Hope</em><em> </em><em>it</em><em> </em><em>helps</em><em> </em><em>!</em><em>!</em><em> </em>

<em>have</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>great</em><em> </em><em>day</em><em> </em><em>!</em><em>!</em><em> </em>
