The document is a discussion in Spanish between Sergio, Paola, and Susan about the past perfect tense in English. It begins with Sergio confirming that the past perfect tense is used to talk about an action that occurred before something else in the past. Paola notes that it is equivalent to the past pluperfect tense in Spanish. They then discuss how to form the past perfect tense in English, including using the auxiliary verb "had" plus the past participle, and providing examples of its use.

The auxiliary verb had does not change depending on the
person, because it is already past - it only has one form. And
the past participle doesn't change either: it's the form of the
third column in the irregular verb list - or if it's a regular verb,
it ends in -ed.
Examples;
I’d met her before that night,
but we’d never really talked
.I wasn’t hungry because I’d
already eaten dinner.

ready to win
