The Definition / Meaning Is - An Action Started in the PrePast and finished in the Past
Definition - Explaination:
You must be confused and thinking what does it mean Action Started in the PrePast and finished in the Past
!!! well don't worry when iam teaching. this defintion is very easy to understand and to make you understand
i have one example for you which will clear your all confusions -
Example No1:
" The Guests had started eating Before the couple came "
For your better understanding i have spilt this sentence into two parts
Past Participle ← "The Guests had started eating"
Past Indefinite Tense ← "Before the couple came"
Right now (In this current movement ) iam at home and talking with my mom about the wedding ceremony of
my friend that "Do you know mom The Guests had started eating
Before the couple came - "So its means
the couple came arrived is past but the "The Guests had started eating"
this action (which in this case is
eating) happened before the past so this is past pefect tense
Example No 2: "It had started raining before i opened my umbrella"
Let's say i was on the way of my home and suddenly i see the dark clouds and i soon realise

3. it is about to rain - so i open my bag but the rain started Before i opened my umbrella
- so its means the
action (which is this case rain started this is prepast ) before i open my umbrella
Example No 3: "The train had gone before i arrived" -
Let's say i wanted to go to london through train my
timing was 6:30pm
and i reach there at 6:34 now iam waiting at the station and talking
to my brother that i was in traffic therefore before i reached to station
the trained had gone ok!!! so in this
case the action (which is Train Gone) (Prepast)
happened before i arrived (Past)
Past Participle : Structure
Till now we have understood the usages or the defintions of Past Perfect Tense. now we should
understand how to make example sentences to do that we need to see the structure of making examples
which is

4. Sub + Had + Verb(3rd) + Object
Subject:
Means Who or What Performs The Action. It Can Be ( He , She , it , They , You , We ) or Anyname - For
Example: - He, Naveed, Computer, English
(Had) = Helping Verb:
Why do we use Helping Verb? - May be you ask yourself why do we need Helping Verb Well the
simplest answer of
this question is as you know in english grammar we have many structues
so how will
a person will understand which tense are you using to make this confusion clear
every tense has its own
helping verb so that a person can understand oh this tense you are using ok!!!
in this tense we have only
one helping Verb - (Had)
Had = We can use had with any subject like (He , She , It , They , We , You , I)
Verb:
Definition: "A Word Which Shows An Action Is Called Verb" - Ex: (Dance , Read , Listen , do)

5. Object:
In easy words object gives us the full meaning of a sentence Example: He had played - in this sentence
we don't know what had he played? either football , cricket - this sentence is without object - now another
Example with object -
Example No 2 : He had played football - this sentence with object and giving us the full meaning and
sense
