The past perfect simple

Form: had + past participle (volt.dw), for example: had arrived, had walked, but also: had gone, had driven etc.

Kort samengevat:

De present perfect simple: ik heb gedaan (I have done)

De past perfect simple: ik had gedaan (I had done)

Bij deze twee tijden kan vergelijken met het Nederlands goed werken.

De past perfect simple geeft aan wat er als 1ste gebeurde in het verleden (situatie 1)

We often use the past perfect (had + voltooid deelw.) to talk about something that happened in the past;

more specifically, if we want to talk about something that happened before something else in the past.

Je gebruikt de 'past perfect' vaak als je een verhaal aan het vertellen bent over wat er gebeurd is in het verleden. Je hebt het nodig om duidelijk te maken wat er eerst gebeurde, wat daarna, etc.

The past perfect continuous

Form: had + been + -ing, for example: had been walking, had been laughing, hadn't been driving etc..

*This tense is used in the same way as the present perfect continuous, only this time it's (further) in the past.

The past perfect continuous:

Examples:
