Past Perfect Simple

We form the Past Perfect Simple

We use the Past Perfect Simple for:
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.
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.

Exercises: Ex. Many people had left, before the band started playing.

1.Put the verbs in parenthesis in the Past Perfect form.

1. Last night we went to a concert, but when we arrived, the
music ______________________ (start).
2. My family had a barbecue last weekend, but when we got
there, they ________________________ (eat) all the food.
3. Maria helped Jenny with her spring cleaning, before she
