Englische Grammatik Teil 19 - Das Past Perfect Simple
Das englische Past Perfect Simple entspricht dem deutschen Plusquamperfekt. Es wird also für Handlungen verwendet, die in der Vergangenheit abgeschlossen sind.
After Tom had done his work, he played basketball.
Beide Handlungen finden in der Vergangenheit statt. Nur konnte Tom mit dem Spielen erst beginnen, nachdem er seine Arbeit abgeschlossen hat. Also war dieser Vorgang in der Vergangenheit bereits beendet.
Auch für die Bildung dieser Form wird die dritte Stammform noch einmal benötigt. Und zwar wir das Past Perfect Simple folgendermaßen gebildet:
had + 3. Stammform
Für Frage und Verneinung wird wieder kein Hilfsverb benötigt, da es bereits die Vergangenheitsform von to have gibt. Bei der Verneinung steht nach dem had ein not, für die Bildung von Fragen werden das had und das Subjekt miteinander vertauscht.
