the opinion or seek the approval of the interlocutor.

THE PAST PERFECT
It refers to a time before the recent past. It is used to indicate that an event
occurred before another in the past.
Grammatical Rules
The perfect past is formed with the auxiliary verb "to have" and the past
participle. The auxiliary verb will be in the past.
Subject Auxiliar verb Short form Past participle

I’d, You’d, He’d, Studied,
I, You, He, She,
had She’d, It’d, Visited,
It, We, They
We’d, They’d Worked
Affirmative Sentences:
subject + “had” + past participle
Example:
 I had visited the Louvre before, so I knew where the Mona Lisa was.
 They had studied English before they went to London.

for many years and was bored.

was.
 They had not studied English before they went to London.

accountant for long.

Louvre before?

Uses
1. We use the perfect past to refer to an action or event that started in the
past and that precedes another action also in the past.
Example:
 I’d read the book before I saw the movie.
 Donna had just left when you called.
 Had you ever flown before the trip to France?
2. It is used for actions that occurred before a specific time in the past.
Example:
 I’d already woken up when the alarm clock rang at 7am.
 He hadn’t been to France before the trip in 2008.
3. Also, as in the present perfect, with some verbs we use the perfect
past for situations that started in the past and that continued to a
specific point in the past.
Example:
 She had only owned one car before she bought her new BMW.
 I’d been depressed for a long time before I changed Jobs.
