Past Perfect – Czas zaprzeszły.
Czasu Past Perfect (czas zaprzeszły) używamy, kiedy mówimy o czynności w przeszłości, która poprzedzała inną czynność w przeszłości (drugą czynność wyrażamy w Past Simple).
Przykład:
I wasn’t thirsty because I had already drunk some water. Nie byłam / byłem spragniona/y, ponieważ wypiła/em już wodę. Pierwszą czynnością było wypicie wody, dlatego ta część zdania została powiedziana w czasie Past Perfect.A efektem tej czynności był stan nieodczuwania pragnienia, co należy powiedzieć w Past Simple.
