- Past Perfect Tense всегда идет рука об руку с другим действием в прошлом. Эта временная конструкция используется для описания действия, которое произошло раньше другого действия или определенного момента в прошлом. Другое действие в прошлом чаще всего обозначается Past Simple. Пример: We arrived at the station at 7.30, but the train had left. — Мы прибыли на вокзал в 7:30, но поезд уже ушел (сначала поезд ушел — Past Perfect, потом мы прибыли на вокзал — Past Simple).
- Past Perfect может объяснять причину: в предложении уточняется, что действие, выраженное Past Perfect, стало причиной того, что произошло другое действие. Пример: He was hungry. He hadn’t eaten for eight hours. — Он был голоден. Он не ел восемь часов.
- В Past Perfect также можно рассказывать о личном опыте, который дал некий результат в прошлом. Пример: The last week of my holidays was the worst week I had ever had. — Последняя неделя моего отпуска была самой худшей неделей, которая у меня когда-либо была.
