2. PAST PARFECT TENSE + YET / ALREADY
• TO FORM THE PAST PERFECT TENSE WE USE HAD WITH THE PAST PARTICIPLE FORM OF THE VERB. MOST
PAST PARTICIPLES END IN -ED (PAINTED, ARRIVED, VISITED, ETC.). IRREGULAR VERBS HAVE SPECIAL
PAST PARTICIPLES THAT MUST BE MEMORIZED. (TOLD, SAID, SPOKEN, EATEN, ETC.)
• EXAMPLE:
• WHEN LINDA ARRIVED HER HUSBAND HAD LEFT.
• I READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT HE HAD MADE A GREAT DISCOVERY.

3. ALREADY
• ALREADY MEANS THAT SOMETHING HAPPENED EARLIER THAN WE EXPECTED. WITH PRESENT PERFECT
ALREADY USUALLY GOES AFTER HAVE OR HAS AND BEFORE THE MAIN VERB.
• EXAMPLE:
• - WE'VE ALREADY HAD OUR BREAKFAST.
- WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO YOUR HOMEWORK?
- BUT I'VE ALREADY DONEIT!
- DO YOU WANT A CUP OF COFFEE?
- NO, THANKS. I'VE ALREADY HAD ONE."

NOW’. IT IS USED IN QUESTIONS AND NEGATIVES.
