Hi, everybody.

大家好。

I'm Esther.

我是埃丝特。

Now let's take a look at some practice exercises for the basic usage of the past perfect tense.

现在我们来看看

过去完成时的基本用法的一些练习。

Take a look at the first sentence.

看看第一句话。

‘I blank for six hours before I had a break.’

“我在休息之前呆了六个小时。”

The verb here is ‘work’.

这里的动词是“工作”。

Remember, we need to say ‘I had’.

请记住，我们需要说“我曾经”。

No matter what the subject is, say ‘had’.

无论主题是什么，都说“曾经”。

And then, you take the past participle of the verb.

然后，你采用动词的过去分词。

In this case, we would say ‘worked’.

在这种情况下，我们会说“有效”。

‘I had worked for six hours before I had a break.’

“我工作了六个小时才休息。”

For the next sentence, I want you to try the negative form.

对于下一句话，我希望你尝试一下否定形式。

‘We blank TV before we listened to the radio.’

“我们在听广播之前先把电视关掉。”

Remember, for the negative form, we say ‘had not’

请记住，对于否定形式，我们说“had not”，

or we use the contraction, ‘hadn't’.

或者我们使用缩写“hadn't”。

‘We hadn’t’.

“我们没有”。

And then, we need the past participle.

然后，我们需要过去分词。

‘We hadn't watched TV before we listened to the radio.’

“在听广播之前我们没有看过电视。”

Now find the mistake in the next sentence.

现在找出下一句中的错误。

‘Reggie had it be to Mexico before he went to Peru.’

“雷吉在去秘鲁之前先去了墨西哥。”

Well, we have the subject here and for the negative, ‘hadn't’ is correct.

好吧，我们这里有这个主题，对于否定，“没有”是正确的。

However, we need the past participle of the verb ‘be’.

然而，我们需要动词“be”的过去分词。

So the correct answer is,

所以正确的答案是，

‘Reggie hadn't been to Mexico before he went to Peru.’

“雷吉在去秘鲁之前没有去过墨西哥。”

And finally, ‘Sally and Jan or they had do their job.’

最后，“莎莉和简或者他们已经完成了他们的工作。”

Hmm.

唔。

Remember, we need the past participle.

请记住，我们需要过去分词。

We don't say do.

我们不说做。

We say ‘done’.

我们说“完成”。

‘Sally and Jan had done their job before they watched TV.’

“莎莉和简在看电视之前就已经完成了他们的工作。”

Let's move on.

让我们继续。

In this checkup, we'll take a look at some practice exercises

在这次检查中，

我们将看一些描述

for the past perfect tense that describes how long.

过去完成时态的练习，这些练习描述了多长时间。

Let's take a look at the first sentence.

我们看一下第一句话。

‘You blank at the park for three hours before you came home.’

“ 回家之前

你在公园里呆了 三个小时。”

Remember, we start with the subject and then ‘had’.

请记住，我们从主题开始，然后是“曾经”。

所以我要在这里补充一点，

So I'm going to add that here,

then we need the past participle of the verb ‘be’.

然后我们需要动词“be”的过去分词。

And that is ‘been’.

这就是“曾经”。

‘You had been at the park for three hours before you came home.’

“你在公园待了

三个小时才回家。”

The next sentence says,

下一句话是：

‘They blank for six hours before they took a break.’

“他们在休息之前呆了六个小时。”

Again, no matter what the subject, we have ‘had’ and then the past participle.

再说一次，无论主语是什么，

我们都有“had”，然后是过去分词。

So the answer is,

所以答案是，

‘They had studied for six hours before they took a break.’

“他们学习了六个小时才休息。”

Now, find the mistake in the next sentence.

现在，找出下一句中的错误。

It's a little bit longer so it might take you a while.

它有点长，所以可能需要一些时间。

‘They had been known each other for ten years before they had their first fight.’

“ 在他们第一次吵架之前，

他们已经认识十年了 。”

Can you find the mistake?

你能找出其中的错误吗？

Well, we have the subject and ‘had’, but check this out.

好吧，我们有了主题和“曾经”，

但请检查一下。

There are two past participles here.

这里有两个过去分词。

We need to get rid of one of them.

我们需要除掉其中之一。

We can take out this verb and say, ‘They had known each other for ten years

我们可以去掉这个动词，说：

“ 他们在第一次吵架之前就

before they had their first fight.’

已经认识十年了 。”

The next sentence says, ‘I have played soccer for many years before I scored my first goal.’

下一句话是：

“ 在打进第一个进球之前，

我已经踢了很多年足球 。”

This sentence doesn't look wrong at first.

这句话乍一看并没有错。

But remember, in the past perfect tense, we need to say ‘had’.

但请记住，在过去完成时中，

我们需要说“had”。

‘I had played soccer for many years before I scored my first goal.’

“ 在打进第一个进球之前，

我已经踢了很多年足球 。”

Good job, everybody.

干得好，大家。让我们继续。

Let's move on.

Great job, everyone.

干得好，大家。
