V4 Past simple and past perfect

What do you already know about the past simple and past perfect?

Past simple

Verb + ed -> he walked

Watch out for irregular verbs! (see handout)

Actie in het verleden die klaar is, vaak staat er bij wanneer het gebeurd is ("I fell off my bike yesterday")

Past perfect

had + third form of the verb -> he had walked, he had gone, he had eaten

Gebeurtenis in het verleden die plaatsvond voor een andere gebeurtenis ("I had finished my homework before I went to bed")

Let's practice

Fill the correct form of the verbs into the gaps. Use the past perfect or the past simple.

If you need to do more than one word, use a comma in between: had driven, saw
