good morning welcome back again to our online class today's content you're 00:00:00

going to see that today's presentation is shorter than any other than other 00:00:09

days and that is because the tense that we're going to look at today has a very 00:00:14

simple structure in this tense is the past perfect um you're going to see that here we 00:00:23

refer to the past simple too because it's necessary but today we're not going to look 00:00:35

at them together we're not going to practice the two of them together that we will leave it for 00:00:42

another day okay so in order to understand how the past perfect works i would like you 00:00:46

to imagine or to picture yourself in a situation like the one that you have in the example 00:00:57

Okay. So, first of all, we've got Sarah, who went to a party last week. 00:01:07

Paul went to the same party, but they didn't see each other. 00:01:20

and you know why because paul left the party at 10 30 and sarah arrived at 10 at 11 o'clock 00:01:28

so this is paul saying goodbye at 10 30 and here is sarah arriving so it's impossible to see to 00:01:41

meet each other, okay? So, when Sarah arrived at the party, Paul wasn't there. 00:01:51

He had gone home. Had gone is the past perfect. In other words, we use the past 00:02:01

perfect to talk about an action that happens in the past of the past so all 00:02:16

these example all these party everything happened last week in the past so before 00:02:31

Sarah went to the party, Paul had gone. Before that past action, Paul did something, which 00:02:40

is going. So, the past of the past, we use past perfect for the past of the past. Let's 00:02:48

see more in detail how it works. Here you have three more examples. When I woke up, 00:03:00

The garden was all white. 00:03:10

Can you imagine? 00:03:14

So, before I woke up, it had been snowing. 00:03:15

So, when I woke up, the garden was all white. 00:03:20

It had snowed during the night. 00:03:25

This action happened before than this one. 00:03:28

Another example. 00:03:34

I suddenly realized that I had left my mobile in the taxi. 00:03:36

so first I left my mobile in the taxi and then I realized it when she got to 00:03:41

class she realized that she hadn't brought her book so she didn't bring her 00:03:49

book that's the action that happened first and then she got to class and she 00:03:55

realized so the past of the past past perfect so we use the past perfect when 00:04:00

we are talking about the past and we want to talk about an action that 00:04:07

happened before, an earlier past action. Go back to the first example again. When 00:04:16

I woke up the garden was all white, it had snowed during the night. It snows 00:04:25

before I woke up. We make the past perfect. All this was about the 00:04:30

use of the past perfect. If we focus on the form of the past perfect it is super 00:04:38

hyper mega easy because what we have to use is this structure. We write the past 00:04:45

of the verb to have which is had and then the past participle of the main 00:04:55

verb in the negative form hadn't past participle this does not change for any 00:05:03

person so it's always the same I he she had gone whatever doesn't matter if it 00:05:12

is a question how would that be if it is a question we write the auxiliary first 00:05:21

like you know what we always do had she gone that's it 00:05:27

auxiliary had subject she passed with this in the rest of the sentence had she 00:05:33

gone as you can see in example number two had is sometimes contracted to the 00:05:41

And this is all that I have to say about the past perfect. 00:05:49

You just have to practice, okay? 00:05:54

So, again, revise your irregular verbs and go on into the practice of the book. 00:05:56
