Past perfect tense

The past perfect tense is used to describe an action or state that occurred before another action or time in the past. It is often used to show the sequence of events or to indicate that one action happened before another action in the past.

The past perfect tense is formed by using the past tense of the auxiliary verb "have" (had) followed by the past participle of the main verb.

Here are some examples of sentences in the past perfect tense:

1. I had already eaten dinner when she arrived.
2. They had finished their work before the deadline.
3. She had studied Spanish before she traveled to Mexico.
4. He had lost his keys, so he couldn't enter the house.
5. We had visited that museum before it closed down.
6. By the time I arrived, they had already left.
7. Had you ever been to Europe before your trip last year?
8. She hadn't seen him in years before they bumped into each other.
9. The team had scored three goals before the opponent equalized.
10. He realized he had forgotten his wallet after reaching the restaurant.

In these examples, the past tense of the auxiliary verb "have" (had) is combined with the past participle of the verbs "eat," "finish," "study," "lose," "visit," "arrive," "had," "see," "score," and "realize" to form the past perfect tense, indicating an action or state that happened before another past action or time.
