Lesson aims

At the end of the lesson the student knows how to create the past perfect and the difference with the present perfect.

How was your weekend and what did you do?

What do you remember about the past perfect? How/when to use, grammar, examples etc.

Past perfect: When do we use it?

1. Something that is happening right now
2. For facts and habits
3. Just whenever!
4. To indicate a certain event before another event in the past.

How do we make the past perfect?

1. You add the thing and then do the thing with the verb
2. Have/has and verb+ed/irregular
3. Had and verb+ed/irregular
4. verb+s

Select the sentence with the past perfect

1. I have used the toilet since I was two.
2. I had used the toilet before I went to the party.
3. I was using the toilet when a meteorite crashed into my home.
4. I am using the toilet right now.

Look at the following sentences:
1. When the police arrived, the thief had escaped.
2. The thief had escaped when the police arrived.

1. Sentence 1 is wrong.
2. Sentence 2 is wrong
3. Both sentences are wrong.
4. Both sentences are right.

Now create your own sentence using the past perfect. Use the correct grammar and context.

I know what the past perfect is and how to use it.
