Please upload a video on - " What about &. How about " in detail ....

[@Krucezam]

I had already watched the movie before you watched it. Or I already watched the movie before you watched it. Are they both correct snd and what is uncommon between them?

[@EnglishWithAshish]

Had watched Past perfect is the right tense to use here.

[@AsadKhan-yz1oy]

The same pattern of active voice past perfect will be followed in past perfect passive voice ? Past perfect +past tense

[@EnglishWithAshish]

In the passive voice, the structure changes as the focus shifts from the doer of the action to the receiver of the action. They had helped us. (Active) We had been helped by them. (Passive)

[@AsadKhan-yz1oy]

Is it grammatically correct to put past simple or then past perfect. I am going exercise on past perfect and there they use this structure past simple then part perfect

[@EnglishWithAshish]

Yes. Here are some examples: I took the day off as I had been feeling ill. She did not come to the party as she had been going through a personal problem.

@@EnglishWithAshish thank you bro I have a question I had been living in London for five years before I moved out to paris. In this example, when did the action of living in london finish ? is it finished once I moved to to paris? kind of confusing?

[@EnglishWithAshish]

Before moving to Paris. This is the reason of using Past Perfect Continuous tense. The time before which the action that had been going on for some time in the past is important. We always mention it.

Nicely explained.

Thank you!

[@AsadKhan-yz1oy]

Sir this sentence has followed the passive structure of past perfect but the subject is identified AS "everyone" example Almost everyone alive had been spared from experiencing a plague ,so far Is it correct please clear this confusion

[@EnglishWithAshish]

Yes, it's in the passive voice, Asad! We don't know WHO could have sparred "almost everyone alive."

Is there any situation we can use past perfect tense without two context or event in a sentence. Consider the news I read. "Several celebs from the entertainment industry and netizens had also condemned the ugly side of social media." In this sentence there are no two events but they have used past perfect tense. Could you please explain...

[@EnglishWithAshish]

You can omit talking about the second action or the particular time when it's understood. Else, that's not the right use of Past perfect tense. A: I came to see you yesterday at 6 PM. B: I had already left for a party.
