A. Past Perfect

Утвердительная форма	Вопросительная форма	Отрицательная форма
I He She had worked We (‘d worked) You They	I he Had she worked? we you they	I He She had not worked We (hadn’t worked) You They

Утвердительная форма образуется при помощи вспомогательного глагола to have в Past Simple (had) и Participle II смыслового глагола:

I(he / she / we / you / they) had read.

В вопросительной форме вспомогательный глагол ставится перед подлежащим:

Had I(he / she / we / you / they) read?

Отрицательная форма образуется при помощи отрицания not, которое ставится после вспомогательного глагола:

I(he / she / we / you / they) had not (hadn’t) read.

Случаи употребленияPast Perfect:

1) Для выражения действия, которое произошло раньше другого действия в прошлом (оно выражено с помощью Past Simple):

He said (Past Simple) that he had already taken (Past Perfect) the book from the library

(т.е. он взял книгу до того, как сказал об этом).

After she had cried, she felt better.

2) Для выражения действия, которое закончилось к определённому моменту в прошлом:

We had translated the article by 5 o’clock.

3) В сложносочинённых предложениях с союзамиhardly ...when,

no sooner ... than (едва … как; не успел и … как)для выражения действия, предшествующего другому действию. При этом имеет место инверсия, т.е., глагол had занимает место перед подлежащим:

Едва он вошёл в комнату, как услышал шум.

No soonerhad I read the first page when mother called me.

Не успел я прочитать и первую страницу, как мама позвала меня.
