PAST PERFECT | HAD GONE | HAD DONE | HAD HAD - English Grammar

PAST PERFECT with the PAST SIMPLE? When do we use this combination?

In today's lesson, we are going to look at the PAST PERFECT. This special tense cannot stand alone and always needs another tense to go along with it.
Let's look at:
- the grammatical structure
- rules
- pronunciation
- common questions

Thank you so much for watching this video and don't forget to leave me a comment with an example sentence!

I created this resource to help you supplement your studies and to make learning the tenses as simple as possible 😊 .

🔥COMMON QUESTIONS: Arnel, how do you edit your videos? What software do you use?

I use a combination of these two tools:

For video editing / screen recording

For images / graphics / stock videos / thumbnails:

I've used both these tools since day 1. If you go to my very first YouTube videos, you'll see my progression from then until now. You can do it too!

My English midterm is tomorrow and one of the subjects tested is the past perfect. I love watching Arnel's videos before my test for extra, last-minute preparation! My professor also likes linking Arnel's videos for asynchronous class sessions. Sufficient to say, Arnel has become one of my favorite English teachers.

[gedeonouimet]

You are an excellent teacher. Your explanations are clear and I am pleased to have discovered you. Your presentation is attractive, you speak at a good speed and your pronunciation is clear. A perfect combo to be the best.

[janiearmstrong]

My wife came to America at age of 8. Now she is 43. Looks like everyone understands her speaking very well, but her basic grammar is terrible! Perhaps, her pronunciation is good. Most of people have a hard time to understand me because my pronunciation is bad. I'll recommend your videos to her. You have a clear voice. Hope you have more lessons for pronunciation

[zarchi]

I was understanding a little of English language because I'd studied the English language with self-study in the years. But I need to improve my English. Your videos is very useful for me. Thank you teacher!
