@@aymenabdulrahman7533 you are using :past perfect correctly. Goodluck.
Its used to show atleast two or more than two past event to show which happened first no matter if there is a only single situation we don't use a past perfect even if it happened a long time ago
Thanks

Your lessons are like music to my ears , great job Mr Adam , thank you
Thanks for this video teacher! Greetings from Uruguay!
Great explaination
Hi Adam, I have been watching your video as long as possible in my free time. You are one of the great teachers ever! I was wondering that is the past perfect commonly used in daily conversation? I am a Japanese lady by the way!! I really appreciate for your teaching!
Thanks for the video .what about The Past perfect progressive?
Hi, Adam! Please explain more about the usage of past perfect with time adverbs like "before". You said that it is not necessary to use past perfect because a chronology already exists thanks to "before". It is correct to say then: I never saw a bear before I moved to Alaska or I had never seen a bear before I moved to Alaska?
this helped a lot!🙂
Hello! Dear Adam, my instructor always insists that answers should be in different ways for each question i.e., discuss, argument, describe, analyze, what is the difference among these things and explain what it means in each thing, how to write answers for each different question. As he, my instructor, said there must be difference in your answer for each type.
Best explanation ever! =)
Hi Adam, how can we differentiate between the past simple and the past perfect. Which is correct 1) I had bought a car. 2) I bought a car. ?
As always, you are skillful lecturer. Kindly, would you give a similar one for the past and present continous tenses?
Thanks for this video!! It s very clear and helpful.
Flawless class. Keep up doing this awesome work. Greets from Brazil.
Thanku sir...you helped a lot... i am from India by the way...!!!
Excellent Sir. Thank you so much.
Thanks !
Thanku dear sir ..you are a wonderful teacher.
thank you so much sir........
How about a sentence like this ? If only i had studied i would had gotten better marks is this sentence correct?
Thank you Mr Adam for teaching past perfect tense. But I have a doubt whether we can use past perfect relative to present or future? and I couldn't understand how to use past perfect relative to present or future.
Would you mind explaining how to use past perfect relative to present or future?
Past perfect is not related to present or future.

Hopefully you might be able to help me.
Can the past perfect continuous be replaced by the past continuous in the examples you have shown?
The earthquake occurred last Monday.There was much destruction and many people lost their homes and businesses. Scientists WERE not able to predict this disaster which is why no one was properly prepared.
Dear Mr.Adam, would you please make a video about Argumentative Essays? Thanks in advance
Thank you, it was very good and informative video.
thank you
Lovely 👍
Please is it correct to use two actions in past perfect
We ended up in Bijaia that because we hadn't realized that we had taken the wrong direction
I had gone to London yesterday and i came back. Now can i say, i had gone to london yesterday, without mentioning that i have returned.
Or "i went to london yesterday" indicates complition of my journey.
Please reply.
Actually your sentences are mistake. You don't need to say i had gone to London and i came back now. but you could say before i moved to another country i had gone in London first.
many students are/were not properly prepared? which one is correct ? are or were ...
Thank you Adam
Hey Adam please make a vedio on the rules for simple past tense .
When you explain it, it sounds and appears to be very easy but it's hard to remember how to use or how to put these sentences in order. I can't even get my GED yet.😢😢😢😢
How would u structure a question that goes along the lines of finding similarities and differences of an earthquake between two different countries?Please help me ,Adam.
Hi Adam! Please, can you give several examples with verb BE in Past Perfect? Thank you befohand🤝😙💖
Hey Adam, can you explain pls about difference Past Perfect and Past Indefinite
Thanks for these videos!
P.s. At 0.12 I've heard that Adam said: "people just have FIND it to be a very tricky tense"
Have I heard this tight? I'm asking this because as long as I remember in this case we should use "Found".
Aha. Now I've got it:=)
Thanks for your answer. We are waiting for your new good English lessons!
P.s. "Have I heard this tight?" - "right" instead of "tight". That was a small typo in my first comment))
Thanks for explanation, but in the example with not paying attention students, it doesn't look like sequence of past events, find out is present, hadn't paid - past perfect, why past perfect and not past simple, don't we know for sure which event is first
1st they did not pay attention, that inattention is affecting the 2nd action of finding out. It emphasizes the relationship.
You could say, "Many students find out in their first year of college that certain high school courses they didn't pay much attention to are actually critical to their academic success." To my ears, this doesn't sound quite right if you're relating one thing to another, or if you're emphasizing their discovery.
Hi Adam, Your lessons are very helpful. I have a bit confusion about your 1st example. "I arrived home" earlier than "the pizza arrived." So, 1st sentence should be in past perfect tense. Plz explain? TIA.
Brilliant
When my grandpa was alive he always told me the most interesting stories. In this sentence first one is simple past so why we didn't use had told in the second sentence or used to tell here??
I love it
Great adam doing good .....super😊
"Q7: Had the beggar come to Rukku Manni's house for the first time? Give reasons for your answer. "
I find this question seeming just not correct. It does not seem to be a full sentence based on my understanding of the past perfect tense. Could you help me out ? :-)
Thank so much...!
We had been owned that building for 50 years ..is it correct
Perfect
Omg .I got it thanks from india
if the present perfect take place in the past then why we need simple past verb for arrived???? can't we just use one instead??
thank you so much, please let me be in contact with in ordzr to test my speaking skills
How come there is no future countinous
Pretty Good !
Adriano Junior excellent sir
Now my mind is clear
i like learn with you
Is somebody able to explain the tenses in the following sentence: "Only about 15% of the population lived in cities in 1850, but by 2000, that number had reached nearly 70%" Shouldn`t it be the other way around?
make many lectures on passage narration, voice change
Write to Top Thanks boss,because you can conduct all lectures in the trickiest format ;please, deliver lectures on : completing sentences.
👍👍
can we say " i owned this house for 50 years " as this is giving a clear idea ?
Ya we can say
And the magic appears at 3:33 (...)
FInally i've been able to understand the topic...It was a real mess to understand it!
Where past perfect progressive????
thank you so much,but please don't go fast.pleaaaaaaase
⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘
can I use "She did have many friends before she had married Larry." - instead of "She had had many friends before she married Larry"?
I think it's ok. Because both of them have the meaning that explain that she has many friend in the past.
Yep its fine too
i have just finished your lesson.it was very useful ❤ please make a full lesson on past perfect continuous tense also.🤗🌟💫
I will get on that.
@@WritetotheTop thank you ,,, please don't forget to include it's uses in detail 🥳💫 with some examples in your style. because while talking I always feel should I use this tense here or not.😒
