過去完了形を使ってみよう

The Past Perfect Tense
過去完了形を使って講師と会話してみましょう。
過去完了形は現在完了形を過去に移した状態の表現方法です。 「その時まで」にどういう経緯を経て至ったかを説明するケースで使えます。 逆に言うと、過去のある時点が明らかであり、それ以前を表したい場合のみにしか使えられないのが過去完了形です。 使い方としては、had + 過去分詞で表します。 【回答例】 The baseball game had already begun when I got to the stadium. 野球の試合は、スタジアムに着いた時すでに始まってしまっていた
Please use the past perfect tense.
