PAST PERFECT SIMPLE

FORM

INTERROGATIVE: Had+subject+past participle

NEGATIVE: Subject+had/hadn't+past participle

POSITIVE: Subject+had+past participle

USE

The past perfect is used in the part of the sentence that explains the condition (the if-clause). Most often, the reason to write a verb in the past perfect tense is to show that it happened before other actions in the same sentence that are described by verbs in the simple past tense.

EXAMPLES

Had you bought that t-shirt?

Had you eaten frog legs before

I hadn't had dinner yet.

I hadn't been to Australia

I had eaten lamb before I went to the cinema

I had argued with my friend before I came here

DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PAST PERFECT SIMPLE AND PAST SIMPLE

These two tenses are both used to talk about things that happened in the past. However we use past perfect to talk about something that happened before another action in the past, which is usually expressed by the past simple.
