Had + past participle (3rd row)

Past perfect (I had done)

Sarah and Paul went to the same party., but they didn't see each other. Paul left the party at 10.30 and Sarah arrived at 11.

So when Sarah arrived at the party, Paul wasn't there. 

He .... home

Past perfect (I had done)

Something happened in the past: "Sarah arrived at the party"

This is the starting point of the story. Then, we want to talk about something that happened before this time. 

"When Sarah arrived at the party, Paul had already gone home."

Prepositions

When to use them?

• Where something is
• Where something is going
• When something is

Prepositions

How to use them?

• Connection words
  
• 'Kast woorden' 
  

Word order

Verb | Object | Place | Time

• Verb + object normally go together, don't put other words between them
  
• Verb + place normally go together - if the verb has an object, it goes in the middle
• Time the beginning or end of a sentence, but behind Place

2. use - yesterday. - my phone - I didn't

3. took - to the zoo. - We - the children
