3.3.1. PAST PERFECT AND PAST SIMPLE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05HXVE05vig
ACTIVITY 1: write sentences about why these years were important for each person.
1 Amelia Mary Earhart: 1917. It was the year when she took her first trip in a plane.
5 What does Richard Branson do for a living? media and travel company- VIRGIN MOBILE
6 In which country did he land the hot-air balloon? Ireland
The past perfect is a verb tense which is used to show that an action took place once or many times before
another point in the past.
• Question: Had you studied English before you moved to New York?
• Negative: You had not studied English before you moved to New York.

Past Present Future
The past perfect expresses the idea that something occurred before another action in the past. It can also
show that something happened before a specific time in the past.
Examples:
• Tony knew Istanbul so well because he had visited the city several times.
• We were not able to get a hotel room because we had not booked in advance.
• A: Had you ever visited the U.S. before your trip in 2006?
• We had had that car for ten years before it broke down.
• By the time Alex finished his studies, he had been in London for over eight years.
• They felt bad about selling the house because they had owned it for more than forty years.
Although the above use of past perfect is normally limited to non-continuous verbs and non-continuous uses of
mixed verbs, the words "live," "work," "teach," and "study" are sometimes used in this way even though they are
NOT non-continuous verbs.
IMPORTANT Specific Times with the Past Perfect
X X I___________
Past Present Future
Unlike with the present perfect, it is possible to use specific time words or phrases with the past perfect. Although
this is possible, it is usually not necessary.
Example:
• She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996. MOREOVER
If the past perfect action did occur at a specific time, the simple past can be used instead of the past perfect when
"before" or "after" is used in the sentence. The words "before" and "after" actually tell you what happens first, so
the past perfect is optional. For this reason, both sentences below are correct.
Examples:
• She had visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.
• She visited her Japanese relatives once in 1993 before she moved in with them in 1996.
HOWEVER

Past Present Future
If the past perfect is not referring to an action at a specific time, past perfect is not optional. Compare the examples
below. Here past perfect is referring to a lack of experience rather than an action at a specific time. For this reason,
simple past cannot be used.
Examples:
• She never saw a bear before she moved to Alaska. Not Correct
• She had never seen a bear before she moved to Alaska. Correct
Activity: Using the words in parentheses, complete the text below with the appropriate tenses

PRESENT. We use modals of deduction to say how sure we are about something. In present modals of deduction
are: must, might, may, could, can't.
• We use must when we feel sure that something is true because there's very strong evidence:
He must live near here because he comes to work on foot. (We don't know where he lives but we're sure it's not far
away)
You are a computer programmer? It must be a well-paid job.
• We use might, may or could to say that we think something is possible but we're not sure:
What do you know about him? He might be a reserved person.
They may be late on meeting.
Don't eat it! It could be poisoned!
• We use can't/couldn't when we assume that something is not true:
She can't be a mother, she's only 14!
He can't be in prison, I saw him yesterday in a pub.
They couldn't be in a library. It's closed today.
All modals of deduction in present depend on how certain you are about the fact.
You're 100% sure
PRESENT
Mike IS at
• Mike must be at home.
home.
• Might, may, could + have Ved/3 - we think something was possible but we aren't sure:
He should be hour by now. He may have been delayed by a traffic jam or something. I can't find
my purse. I could have left it in the supermarket but I just don't know.
Modal Possibility Example
Ifs possible Ihat e-readers might have changed our reading habils
permanently
• Can't, couldn't + have Ved/3 - we feel sure that something didn't happen in the past:
I thought I saw John in town this morning but it can't have been him - he's in Greece this week. I can't
have left it in the supermarket -1 had it on the bus on the way home.
You can't have read the instructions properly. They're perfectly clear.
As you can see in examples above the structure of modals of deduction (past) is the following:
Affirmative: Subject + modal + have V3/ed Interrogative: Modal + subject + have V3/ed ?
Negative: No + subject + modal + not + have V3/ed
Here is a very good table from our Visual Grammar rubric of modals of deduction for you:
We use might,
been Jane. She was
It might not/may not be Lisa. It might not/may not have been Helen. If l'm not
1 think she would have called if she wanted to visit us.
mistaken she wasn’t hungry.
We usemight not, may not with the perfect
,
We use might not may not to say that we think infinitive to say that we think something wasn't possible but
something isn't possible but we're not sure.
