[@yuliianedoruba]

@nirob hasan I think this is wrong for Past Perfect. Because we need two Past actions.. and when we have changed first part we wouldn't have two Past actions... I think so.. But you did it in Present Perfect then it could be)))))I think so)

I've never understood this tense 100%. So, hopefully I will have understood it by the end of the lesson. I'll be editing my message. Edit 1: Ok, so because I'd already been reviewing this tense for a few months before I watched this video, I already knew how to use it. But I'd still misuse it occasionally. That's why I wanted to master this tense. Edit 2: I have not really learnt much, but at least I'm having some fun while re-studying it. Edit 3: The lesson's done. I think I pretty much know when and how to use it. Thanks for your wonderful lesson.

Before I watched this lesson I hadn't known the past perfect confidently. Before I came to England I had already passed the most difficult situation ever. By the time I joined to the university I had already done my GCSE course. When I met my boyfriend I hadn't bought a house but I had had a red car. I went to the big park in London and I had seen lot of wild animals but I hadn't seen a lion. I had never been in America since I was born. I hadn't seen my family for six years. I had just had my shower. Had you had a nice car? Where had you bought that dress? Had she known where we are? Teacher could you please check my examples? Thank so much for sharing an interesting lessons!!!

[@alichangezi7563]

good explanation

[@mohammadfarukhahmad6712]

Great. 5) 'I went to the park' happened first. So it should be 'I had gone to' ....and I saw a lot of....but I didn't see.... 11) the last one : Did she know where we were/we had been 4) You can also say, When I met ... I had no.....but I had ..... 6) ...... been to America ......
