Wanneer gebruik je de Past Perfect?

Je gebruikt de Past perfect bij één of meerdere gebeurtenissen die plaats vonden in het verleden vóór de meest recente gebeurtenis in het verleden.

Bijvoorbeeld: 

Sue had been ill for two weeks when the doctor came and saw her.

Hoe maak je de Past Perfect?

De Past perfect maak je door het werkwoord “had” + het voltooid deelwoord te gebruiken.

Het voltooid deelwoord maak je door stam + ed van het hoofdwerkwoord te maken, maar bij onregelmatige werkwoorden maak je gebruik van de 3e vorm.

> De Past perfect komt altijd voor in combinatie met de Past simple.

Voorbeeld: I had walked home after I went to school
