Very good, Grace!

Now class, whenever there are two (2)

actions which happened in the past,
that’s the time when things get a little
bit complicated.

For the action which happened first

before the other, we will use past
perfect tense of the verb while for the
second action which happened after
the other, we will use simple past
tense.

Formula for simple past:

Regular: verb + d/ed

Formula for past perfect:

had+ past participle form of the

main verb

The sentence would be like this:

I had taken a bath before I ate my

breakfast.
