How do we use it?

What does it look like?

Past perfect - when

• We use the past perfect when we need to make clear that a past action happened before another past action.

• She had eaten lunch before I arrived.

• We always use the past perfect for the first action.
• We always use the past simple for the second action.

Past perfect - when (2)

We also use the past perfect when we tell a story. We use it to describe events that happened before the start of the story

Past perfect - when (3)

We do not use the past perfect when:

• the order of events is the same order as the verbs in the sentence

• When the order of events is clear

We went outside when the sun came out.
