USE OF THE PAST PERFECT TENSE
•The Past Perfect expresses the idea that
something occurred before another action in the
past. It can also show that something happened
before a specific time in the past.
1- Completed Action Before Something in the Past
>> 0 >> 1 >> 2 >> 3 >> 4 >>
2- Duration Before Something in the Past (Non-Continuous Verbs)
• With Non-Continuous Verbs and some non-continuous uses of Mixed Verbs,
we use the Past Perfect to show that something started in the past and
continued up until another action in the past.
Examples:
 We had had that car for ten years before
 it broke down.
 By the time Alex finished his studies, he had been in London for over
eight years.
 They felt bad about selling the house because they had owned it for
more than forty years.

Possession Verbs
