PASADO PERFECTO

PAST PERFECT







is formed using two components:HAD ( all the pronouns), and the past participle form of a verb.
As you can remember, past partciple means " ado and ido" .

 This tense is used to show you which of two events happened first , for example

 -  I had worked all the week because I needed money.
-   Teresa had sold her house last summer because she wanted to move to England
-   we were happy because we had won the championship
-  Sam had read his book for one month. He felt fascinated.

If you want to deny this sentences you must follow this structure:

SUBJECT + HAD+ NOT + VERB+ COMPLEMENT

EXAMPLES: - She had not studied the lesson
                      - luis had not solved the exercises
                      - they had not climbed the mountain

If you want to make a question just follow this:
 HAD+ SUBJECT+ VERB+ COMPLEMENT +

EXAMPLES: - HAD you sung in the concert?
                      - HAD mary practiced ballet?
                       - HAD  we made this report?

 if you wish to practice here you have some exercise:
