'They have been very friendly lately'
Why present perfect?

Choose the simple past

'They were very friendly when we met them'

Why simple past?

We are going to make a new combination

- Stel, je wil iets vertellen over 2 gebeurtenissen die 

na elkaar plaatsvonden, in het verleden

- bijvoorbeeld: 1) hij studeerde veel, 2) hij haalde de toets

- in het NL: hij haalde de toets, omdat ......

- OF: omdat ......., haalde hij de toets

In het Engels: hetzelfde

- 2 gebeurtenissen die na elkaar plaatsvonden, in het verleden

-  hij haalde de toets, omdat hij veel gestudeerd had

- he ............. (pass) the test, because he ......... (study) a lot.

Zo maak je de past perfect:

HAD + voltooid deelwoord 

Regular: They had walkED for miles    (stam + ED)

Irregular: They had caught the thieves (3rd column)

Dus...

- 2 gebeurtenissen die na elkaar plaatsvonden, in het verleden

- He passed the test, because he had studied a lot

Het langst geleden: he had studied > past perfect 

Wat daarna kwam: he passed > simple past 

Wat is het langst geleden...? > past perfect

Please fill in: simple past & past perfect

1. She ............... (visit) me after she .............. (finish) her work. 

2. Before we ............ (go) to Bali, we ........... (never travel) by plane.

1. She visited me after she had finished her work. 

2. Before we went to Bali, we had never travelled by plane.

3. As soon as they had had dinner, they left.

2 gebeurtenissen die 

na elkaar plaatsvonden, in het verleden
