PAST PERFECT | HAD GONE | HAD DONE | HAD HAD - English Grammar

PAST PERFECT with the PAST SIMPLE? When do we use this combination?
In today's lesson, we are going to look at the PAST PERFECT. This special tense cannot stand alone and always needs another tense to go along with it.
Let's look at:
- the grammatical structure
- rules
- pronunciation
- common questions
If you'd like to learn more about using the past perfect in the 3rd Conditional, you can check out my lesson here: • ALL CONDITIONALS | 0,1...

[@brunochavez4819]

I have a doubt . I think the correct use of the tense , instead of viewing you have to put watching because you aren’t viewing something , you are watching a channel , like watching tv, well that’s my opinion .... I think it isn’t correct , is it ?

[@snay8840]
