Review Summary

  • Subject + had + past participle

सामान्य गलतियाँ

Use 'had' for past events, not 'have', which is for the present.

Wrong: I have gone to the store before he arrived.
सही: I had gone to the store before he arrived.

The past perfect always requires the past participle (eaten), not the base form.

Wrong: She had eat the cake.
सही: She had eaten the cake.

Keep the sequence simple; use the simple past for the second action.

Wrong: I had arrived before he was coming.
सही: I had arrived before he came.
