In this grammar lesson, you’ll learn when and how to use the past perfect. It’s much easier than you think. You may even start using the past perfect as soon as you finish watching the lesson. Try it, and see for yourself.
hey mr lounis .. i wish you are wel .. just want to know some friends . and spicialy algeriens persons … so .. they told me that if i want improving my english , i should speak with people whos speak it very well .. so .. if you haven’t a problem to accept me as a friend .. and why not to learn it together … thank you !
I had understood everything, thank u Rebecca 4 the free lesson. you are a great teacher. beside you have a wonderful smile.
‘I had understood everything’, is NOT past perfect, Efrain. Rebecca said it is simple but it is extremely difficult. If it were easy, you would not have written what you wrote. It is a very useful device but most grammar teachers cannot make it make sense. But keep trying, Efrain, you’ll get there.
Thanks a lot madam,before this lesson i couldn’t distinguish between present perfect and pas perfect, i was often use past simple to show past but after this lesson all the confusion has over, Engvid doing a very well job for those who feels shy to go language center because they think people will laugh on them, some of them due to hesitation & mostly doesn’t afford their fees. so that’s a awesome work… I’m thankful to the owner or the teachers indeed, Engvid became my habit if i don’t watch videos i can’t feel better….
Rebecca i have just a slightly confusion between present or past perfect so would you please explain it briefly to make sure about these tenses that I’m using correct or not,
and check is i wrote correct what are my mistakes I’ll be happy if you find my mistakes because in future i want to become a english grammer teacher so you know teacher should have a complete specialization in his field I’ll be waiting for your answer

Hi Rebecca
I liked this lesson very much as well the way you explained it
You really are a professional teacher just as is was said above
Could you please tell me if Valen will show up with her lessons?
I will wait for the answer.
Thank you
Hi, Rebecca. Let me tell you that you are the best teacher at engvid.com or, at least, you are the one that explains better. I’m not telling you that the other teachers are not good teachers – in fact, all they are great teachers, but you are excellent. It’s impossible for us not to understand the subject when you explain it. You are the best. Thank you so much.
I would like you to take a doubt:
Can I use the present perfect with the Past Perfect by writing or saying senteces like this:
“I had done a lot of homework when my sister has arrived today”?
Greeting from brazil and all the best.
no you couldn’t use past perfect with present perfect that setance is wrong you made that ok bye.
I have a bachelors degree in computer and info. system engineering. Now, I want to live in Germany, so I applied for a Phd in German universities. Taha, my cousin had lived in Germany, so I called him to find out more about the culture and lifestyle there.
Correct me, if there is any mistake in the above sequence of sentences.
Thank you for your lesson Rebecca. I’ve always had problems with past perfect tense, but your class was very clear. I think I won’t have more problems with that in the future. Thank you
this video is made me understand of an important part in English. I really like your Website. I am not a native speaker so I need to know how to speak and so on. Thank you so much that you create this program to halp the learners.

hi rebeca, i am an international student in australia and i would like to know how to use (AT ALL) sometimes the people use it but i dont undestand well.
thank you
Thank you very much! So easy to understand! All teacher form engvid are great! I’ chemistry teacher and I know what I say. I try to teach enghlish, so don’t judge me harshly.
Wouldn’t you like to tell us regarding Objective & Subjective Infinitive Constructions in a new nearest lesson? Our language doesn’t include an any similar things, therefore i feel some misunderstanding when encountering these Constructions as result.
Hi guys!! thanks so much for all those exercises, i think it’s the best way to learn fully any part of grammar, in this case the past perfect tense. Humbly, i say that i got 5 out of 5, byeee
Hai,REBECCA,you’r a real teacher inmy vision.when I watchedthis vedio I had’nt brushed my teeth,I had’n't taken my bath,i had’n'ttaken exercise.Actuallyif I takethese will be over my free online time.
Dear team!

Grammar–>Prepossitions
Grammar–>Tences
irrespective of the teacher. Then we can find all the related classes at one location. Please try to implement it. Thank you

when i finished studying english in the school, i hadn’t understood how to use the past perfect jet, now, thanks to you, i will improve this weakness.
thanks a lot
Hi Rebecca !!! Thanks for video !!! You explained the lesson very clearly! I think everyone can get it easy! yeah I don’t have any problem with my perfect tense cause we have this tense in our native language too. Thanks again !!!
Hi Rebbecca , you are a excellent teacher Im very happy learning with you , Im writing from Chile.I love this channel in youtube. and all the teachers too.
Hi Rebecca, Thanks for your work on this and other lessons!
Can I ask for you?
Can you please create a lesson or lessons where to explain where we use first, second and third form of verb (in what cases, with examples (for example – first form of verb we use in Present [I go to home...] or third form of verb we use in Present Perfect [...], Pasive Voice [....], etc ….)).
This lesson would add an understanding of what is the three forms of the verb and where each we can use.
I think this will very helpful for people which learn English and learn that in English there are 3 form of verb – people at a go would understand where this we can use and where this is used.
I am just confused between the present perfect and the past perfect. To my knowledge, the present perfect is used also to express an action that is performed before another one in the past. Thus, How can i guess which tense must be used in such situations.
This explanation was quite clearly. would you mind explaining that you used to “by the time” instead of “when”? Thanks a lot Rebeca I appreciate you.
Best Regars from Turkey
‘by the time’ is only an expression implying the same meaning as ‘when’
Thanks so much ,now i can use past perfect .but before i could not unserstand .thanks for your nice explain . best regards to you and to engvid.

Hi,
Is it possible to get lessons on complete tenses in detail. I am not able to find lessons on each tenses here in the site. I am just able to find some on past simple and perfect or future tense.
Is it possible to have a detail session on all tenses please.
Thanks a lot. Your lesson has been very clear and useful. A question please : could I write ” the flight had already gone, by the time I arrived at the airport” ? Thanks.
Thanks a lot.Your lesson has been very clear and useful. One question please : could I write ” the flight had already gone, by the time I arrived at the airport” ? Thanks
Hi Rebecca! I stopped the video just to say thanks, because you’re the first teacher that can make me understand this tense. Congratulations for this community. Keep teaching people like us. Bye!!
you smiled so sincerely after reading ” her husband had cooked dinner” that i want to cook you dinner! :D keep up the good work, it’s much appreciated :)
this is Tuan phan. in English, I could not figure out vowels differences between “t”, or “d”, or “s”, or “z” sounds. so I was usually in trouble while speaking English, likewise, I was never had “tolerated” on my English pronunciation.
Dear Rebecca
I want to say “The flight ahd left when we arrived at the airport”. It’s correct or wrong?
Pls explian me in both situation, cuz I want to understand very well.
Hi Rebacca,
Sometimes I get confused when to use past indefinite and when to use past perfect like. when when to use sentences like “I sent you a mail yesterday” and “I had mailed you yesterday”
If you could arrange a session on this this would be very helpful.
thanks rebecca. you made it so loud and clear by those simple lecture and explanation on when and how we should this past participle form of the verb. The word HAD plus the PAST PARTICIPLE OF THE VERB gave all the clarity.
Hi Bek.
I got confused with “complete” and “had completed”.In Q3 and Q5 Its both “complete” form is the correct answer.But,isn’t it the participle form there meant to be “had + Participle ” form.
Thanks.
Your early response is much appreciated.
Regards,
BillB.
Hi Rebecca. Thank you for the lesson. It’s very helpful. I’m confused in one case:
Ex: When Jane arrived home she saw that the chair in her room had broken/was broken/is broken. Which one is correct?
get dude according to me.in this case the 3rd person is also involved who is taking about the past both cases are possible,means was broken and had broken are right.but i am not sure dude it is only my opinion i am also waiting for the reply of rebecca mam.pleasure to meet you .
we did a test when the lights went out
what is most suitable alternative for “did”
a)have been doing
b)were doing
c)had done
d)no improvement.
plz also give explanation for your answer/
my ans of above question is “had done” and my friends ans is were doing who is right???
Good class! Past perfect is not dificult but I usually had doubts when I studied sentences with words AFTER and BEFORE. I suggest you explain this question in other video.
First of all thank for your lesson. Could you please upload Full complete Tense Lesson for us(Simple Present,Continuous,perfect,perfect continous,Past,Future). It would be great…
These two tenses seemed very mixed up to me,but now it’s clear when and how to use it. Thanks a lot for the great lesson,Rebecca. It’s much easier to study with EngVid… :)
Thank you very much, Rebecca! My English has really improved since I begun to watch your lessons. They make me believe that I can speak fluently someday :)
Hi Rebecca, clear and excellent lesson.You are helping me to understand better the tenses in English. They are so difficult for me, but I am studing a lot to really know when to use them.Thank you.

‘I had understood everything’, is NOT past perfect, Efrain. Rebecca said it is simple but it is extremely difficult. If it were easy, you would not have written what you wrote. It is a very useful device but most grammar teachers cannot make it make sense. But keep trying, Efrain, you’ll get there.
‘I had understood everything’actually is a past perfect but Efrain didn’t use it properly.

Is it possible to get lessons on complete tenses in detail. I am not able to find lessons on each tenses here in the site. I am just able to find some on past simple and perfect or future tense.
Is it possible to have a detail session on all tenses please.
It was so easy to understand! Your explanation is perfect. Thank U, go on and don’t stop, cause U’re doin a great deal for foreign students!!!
thank you Rebbeca so much
Thanks a lot. Your lesson has been very clear and useful. A question please : could I write ” the flight had already gone, by the time I arrived at the airport” ? Thanks.

Hi Rebecca! I stopped the video just to say thanks, because you’re the first teacher that can make me understand this tense. Congratulations for this community. Keep teaching people like us. Bye!!
Your exposition was clear, recently I noticed that English is easy when i understand. I feel very thankful to you.
you smiled so sincerely after reading ” her husband had cooked dinner” that i want to cook you dinner! :D keep up the good work, it’s much appreciated :)

Thank you so much Rebecca.
Great lesson on Past Perfect
Is it correct to say ’10 minutes left’ instead of ’10 minutes more’
I LOVED THE WAY YOU TEACH
little questions :
how can I e mail you or any other teachers?
should I use the participle form in special cases. if the reply was yes.what are these cases??
Thank You teacher Rebecca <3

Hi Rebacca,
Sometimes I get confused when to use past indefinite and when to use past perfect like. when when to use sentences like “I sent you a mail yesterday” and “I had mailed you yesterday”
If you could arrange a session on this this would be very helpful.
amazing…..I’ve learned very well
excellent working and good examples.you had such a great clarity on tenses :)
Thank Your very much/ This lesson is wonderfull

finally i got it! i have understood past perfect tense! thanks a lot! i like your lessons Rebecca.
Thank you . you are great teacher .
thank you so much can you teach us how can we use past perfect and simple past with before,after,by,by the time.
Fabulous, thank you
thanks rebecca. you made it so loud and clear by those simple lecture and explanation on when and how we should this past participle form of the verb. The word HAD plus the PAST PARTICIPLE OF THE VERB gave all the clarity.
Hi Bek.
I got confused with “complete” and “had completed”.In Q3 and Q5 Its both “complete” form is the correct answer.But,isn’t it the participle form there meant to be “had + Participle ” form.
Thanks.
Your early response is much appreciated.
Regards,
BillB.

Hi Rebecca. Thank you for the lesson. It’s very helpful. I’m confused in one case:
Ex: When Jane arrived home she saw that the chair in her room had broken/was broken/is broken. Which one is correct?
get dude according to me.in this case the 3rd person is also involved who is taking about the past both cases are possible,means was broken and had broken are right.but i am not sure dude it is only my opinion i am also waiting for the reply of rebecca mam.pleasure to meet you .
we did a test when the lights went out
what is most suitable alternative for “did”
a)have been doing
b)were doing
c)had done
d)no improvement.
plz also give explanation for your answer/
my ans of above question is “had done” and my friends ans is were doing who is right???
Thanks Rebecca very much when i watched this video now i learned perfect and the past perfect tense you are very good teacher
