PAST PERFECT TENSE

Form:
 had + past participle of verb

Usage:
 It is used to talk about actions that were completed before some point in the past

Example:
 Before my trip to Paris, I had never been out of the United States.

Usage:
 It is used to talk about something that happened before another action in the
past, which is usually expressed by the past simple

Example:

 I had seen such beautiful sights before I visited Paris in 2012.
 You had studied English before you moved to New York.

F. Application:
1. Divide the class into four groups.
2. Give the first story to the 1st and 3rd groups and let the groups describe the verb
form of the underlined words.
3. Give the second story to the 2nd and 4th groups and let the groups describe the
verb form of the underlined words.

(1st STORY) Who were they? What did they do? What happened? On Saturday, the
Jenson family shopped for a Christmas tree. They got in the car. They drove to the
tree farm. Mr. and Mrs. Jenson walked around the tree farm with their kids. The
Jenson family looked at all the trees. They looked at tall trees and short trees. They
looked at fat trees and skinny trees. They looked at every tree on the farm. They
 wanted the perfect tree. The Jenson kids finally found the perfect tree. It was not too
tall or too short. It was not too fat or too skinny. The tree was exactly what they
wanted. It was the perfect Christmas tree!

(2nd STORY) Where had I gone? What had I done? What had I seen? I had never
seen such beautiful sights before I visited Paris in 2012. I had saved money for 5
years before I booked my trip to Paris. I was very excited! Before my trip to Paris, I
had never been out of the United States. When I went to Paris, I spent many days
touring the city. The city was big. Sometimes I got lost and asked for directions. I
asked for directions in French. That was easy because I had studied French for 2
years before I visited Paris. By the time I left Paris, I had toured many beautiful
places. The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, and Luxembourg Gardens were just
a few of the places I saw. Before I visited Paris, I had only seen those places on
television.
