ENGLISH TENSES (7)

PAST PERFECT SIMPLE

The PAST PERFECT SIMPLE TENSE is formed using “had” with the past participle of a verb
 (e.g. I had worked).

 The past perfect simple tense is used:


 (1) to discuss an action that happened before another action in the past, e.g. “Theo had visited London before his marriage”


 (2) to express regret, e.g. “I wish I had visited San Borjitas by helicopter.”
