Past Perfect Simple

The past perfect simple expresses an action taking place before a certain time in the past.

Form of Past Perfect Simple

	Positive	Negative	Question
no differences	I had spoken.	I had not spoken.	Had I spoken?

For irregular verbs, use the past participle form . For regular verbs, just add ed.

Exceptions in Spelling when Adding ed

Exceptions in Spelling when Adding ed	Example
after final e, only add d	love – loved
final consonant after a short, stressed vowel or l as final consonant after a vowel is doubled	admit – admitted travel – travelled
final y after a consonant becomes i	hurry – hurried

Use of Past Perfect

• action taking place before a certain time in the past (putting emphasis only on the fact, not the duration)

Example: Before I came here, I had spoken to Jack.

• Conditional Sentences Type III (condition that was not given in the past)

Example: If I had seen him, I would have talked to him.

Signal Words

already, just, never, not yet, once, until that day (with reference to the past, not the present)

The Imperative Form

You can use the imperative form to give an order, a warning, or some advice.
To form the imperative, use the infinitive form of the verb without "to". To make a negative imperative, put "do not" or "don't" in front of the verb, as in, "Don't speak!"

Affirmative	Negative
Come here	Don't cross the street
Go there	Don't say that
Open the door	Don't be late
Turn on the TV	Don't fight
Sit down	Don’t go

The imperative is formed the same for all subjects (you, he, we, they), but you can include yourself in the imperative by adding "Let's," as in, "Let's go for a swim".

Affirmative	Negative
Let's work!	Let’s not work!
Let's make a party!	Let's not make a party!
Let's go!	Let's not go!
Let's play!	Let's not play!
Let's go home!	Let's not go home!
