Default Re: Past perfect tense usage - lack of clarity





I request senior teachers/members alike to give some steps or an algorithm to readily grasp the usageof past perfect tense in lenthy passages. Most of the English laguage users who use english as a second language, I think may have this problem.

I hope visitors of this thread who use english as a second language may raise their doubts regarding p.f.t in lenthy passages citing a few examples.


I go with the saying “Being ignorant is not so much a shame, as being unwilling to learn.”


Thanks to all senior teachers esp Mr.David L
