Task 2 Explanation
T: The past perfect tense is used to express a certain action, which happened before another past-time action. Please pay attention to the difference between the past tense and the past perfect tense. Look at the following sentences.
1. The meeting started at six o’clock. (The action started happens at six o’clock.)
2. The meeting had started when we arrived at the hall. (Had started happens before arrived.)
3. He had worked in Beijing for ten years before he came to our school. (Had worked lasts for ten years.)
4. The teacher said that Columbus discovered America in 1492. (The italic part is a historical fact.)
5. He got up, dressed himself and then went downstairs to have breakfast.(There are a series of actions linked by and.)
T: If we meet verbs like think, suppose, hope, want, expect and plan, we usually use the past perfect tense.

They had wanted to catch the first bus, but they didn’t get up early enough.
