Aim of Activity

Steps for Students

Listen to your teacher and try some past perfect tense exercises.
Remember that the past perfect is used when we want to talk about a past action and an earlier past action in one sentence.
The earlier past action follows the structure subject + had/hadn’t + past participle.
Remember what Violet said:
- Before I came to Ireland (past action)
- I had never seen a wild dolphin (earlier past action)
- I had heard of St Patrick (earlier past action)
