slozeno proslo vrijeme-Past Perfect tense
subjekat + simple past od "to have" + past particip glavnog glagola
U odričnim rečenicama ubacujemo rječicu not između pomoćnog i glavnog glagola, a upitnu
rečenicu pravimo zamjenom subjekta i pomoćnog glagola.
Past Perfect Tense (pluperfekt) se upotrebljava:
a) da bi se izrazila radnja u prošlosti koja se desila prije neke druge radnje u prošlosti, također
izražava radnju za koje se pretpostavljalo da je trebalo da se dogodi u prošlosti - prije neke
druge radnje:
