The document provides examples of the past perfect tense, uses of the verb "get", and question tags. It includes example sentences demonstrating these grammatical structures and questions to practice them. It then shifts to discussing when to use the past interrogative form versus the normal past form depending on whether the question word refers to the subject or object. Finally, it gives examples of situations involving two actions and identifies whether they occurred at the same time, one after the other, or one occurring when the other was already in progress.
