Hey there I'm Emma from mmmEnglish!

00:03

Today we're gonna focus on the language that you need

00:06

to tell stories in English.

00:09

Now we all tell stories right about our day,

00:13

about our childhood or maybe just to laugh

00:15

at something that happened earlier.

00:18

So a really useful tense to help you

00:20

accurately tell stories in English

00:23

is the past perfect.

00:24

Now I know that grammar isn't usually heaps of fun

00:28

but we're going to include some pronunciation practice

00:31

and I will make it as fun as I can.

00:33

As always I've got a mini quiz at the end

00:36

to help you practise so make sure you stick around.

00:49

So we use the past perfect to talk about the past

00:54

but not just any situation in the past,

00:57

we use the past perfect

00:59

when we're talking about two events

01:02

that happened in the past

01:04

and when one event happened before the other event.

01:08

So it helps you to order the actions in your story.

01:11

Think about the past perfect as helping us to create

01:15

a timeline.

01:17

I had just stepped outside when it started to rain.

01:22

So there are two actions here, right?

01:24

I stepped outside, it started to rain.

01:28

Now if I use just the past simple

01:31

for both of these events

01:33

well then we don't know which one happened first, right?

01:36

All we know is that both events happened in the past.

01:40

So by using the past perfect in one of those actions,

01:44

I'm letting you know which action

01:46

happened before the other.

01:49

I had just stepped outside when it started to rain.

01:53

So which one came first?

01:57

I stepped outside and then after it started to rain.

02:02

Let's look at a few more examples.

02:05

She had just finished her exam when the timer went off.

02:10

So which action happened first?

02:14

Did the timer go up first?

02:17

No she finished her exam first but only by a little, just.

02:22

And we know this because of the past perfect.

02:28

I couldn't go out for dinner because I had left

02:31

my wallet at home.

02:33

So try and imagine the story here, you know, I was

02:36

working and one of my colleagues came up to ask me

02:39

to join them for dinner after work

02:41

but I realised that I didn't have my wallet that day.

02:44

I left it at home.

02:46

So I couldn't go out.

02:48

He had mentioned feeling sick,
