Thanks to all
lesson 3.7.3 year 3
English grammar lesson.
This week the topic of the grammar lesson is ”Past Perfect Tense”.
as I understand the past perfect tense describes a complete activity in the past. it is used to emphasize that an action was completed before another action took place…for example.
1) My daughter had baked a cake before I arrived.
2) I had washed the bathroom before the children came back from school.
the formula for the past perfect tense is … subject + had+ Past Participle + the rest of the sentence.
