PAST PERFECT TENSE

We use the Past perfect to say that something had already happened before this time :

Example :

-          When I arrived at the party, Tom had already gone home

-          When I got home, I found that someone had broken into my flat and had stolen my fur coat.

-          George didn’t want to come to the cinema with us because he had already seen the film twice.

-          It was my first time in an aeroplane. I was very nervous because I hadn’t flown before.

The pattern:

S + had + verb 3…………when/before S + V2

S + hadn’t +  Verb 3……… when/before S + V2

Had + S + verb 3………… when/before S + V2 ?

QW + had + S + verb 3………  when/before S + V2 ?
