Past Perfect

Remember, the trick with the past perfect is that there must be TWO verbs in the past in the sentence. The action that happens first is in the past perfect. The interrupting or latter action is in the simple past.

  2. Start next entries for your Vocabulary Notebook
  3. Journal: Topic of your choice (150 words)
