Complete the questions using the information in the brackets. Use the past perfect. 1.(she/see) the film before we said about it?
2.(I/read) the book before she came into the room?
3.(John/meet) Lucy before they started working together?
4.(she/work) before she moved to London?
5.(I/pay) the bill before we left?
To form the past perfect, we use the auxiliary verb "had" followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is "see" and its past participle form is "seen". So, we say "Had she seen" to indicate that the action of seeing the film had happened before we mentioned it.
2. Had I read the book before she came into the room?
Similarly, we use the past perfect to indicate that the action of reading the book had happened before she entered the room. The past participle of "read" is also "read", so we say "Had I read" in this case.
3. Had John met Lucy before they started working together?
Using the past perfect, we say "Had John met" to indicate that the meeting between John and Lucy had taken place before they began working together.
4. Had she worked before she moved to London?
To form the past perfect, we use "had" followed by the past participle of the main verb. In this case, the main verb is "work" and its past participle form is "worked". So, we say "Had she worked" to indicate that she had been employed before she relocated to London.
5. Had I paid the bill before we left?
Again, we use the past perfect to indicate that the action of paying the bill had happened before we departed. The past participle of "pay" is also "paid", so we say "Had I paid" in this case.
