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.
