The past perfect

How do we make the past perfect?

Subject + had + past participle (voltooid deelwoord)

Subject "had" Past participle
I/you/he/we/they/you had worked.

 

Remember: past participle often ends with –ed, but not when a verb is irregular.

Subject "had" Past participle
I/you/he/we/they/you had done.

 

 

We use the past perfect when:
- a situation was going on in the past and stopped at a point in the past.
