• WHAT IS YOUR EMBARRASSING MOMENT?

WHEN I WAS RIDING MY MOTORCYCLE, SUDDENLY I

FELL DOWN. I WAS VERY SHOCKED AND REALIZED I WAS
SO SLEEPY AT THAT TIME. I WAS SO EMBARRASSED
BECAUSE I FELL INTO BUSHES. LUCKILY, NO ONE SAW ME
FALLING BUT UNFORTUNATELY, MY FEET WERE STUCK. I
COULDN’T GET UP. SHORTLY AFTER, THERE WAS A MAN
PASSING BY AND HE HELPED ME.

iceberg.

By the time we got to the theater, the movie had

already started.
NOTE:
THE PAST PERFECT IS USED TO SHOW CLEARLY THAT ONE PAST EVENT
HAPPENED BEFORE ANOTHER PAST EVENT. WE USE THE PAST PERFECT FOR
THE EARLIER EVENT

THE FILM WE

8:30 PM 8:45 PM NOW

(AN EARLIER PAST EVENT) (A PAST EVENT)

THEREFORE , THE PAST PERFECT IS THE PAST OF THE PAST!

 PAST PERFECT
 WE USE BEFORE OR AFTER TO MAKE THE TIME SEQUENCE CLEAR.

• SUE HAD LEFT HER HOUSE BEFORE WE ARRIVED.

• WE ARRIVED AT SUE’S HOUSE AFTER SHE HAD LEFT.

THAT IS NOT NECESSARY TO USE PAST PERFECT JUST

BECAUSE AN EVENT HAPPENED A LONG TIME AGO.
WE USE PAST SIMPLE.
