Question

past perfect tense of my parents said they were going to the new restaurant​

Answer 1

Explanation:

First, I check that my native language is not English, and the problem described below met on one of the exams.

With this sentence:

"The most important news is that my parents [...] a new restaurant a few weeks ago."

Is the correct tense to use the Present Perfect (have opened) or Past Simple (opened)?

I know that the word "ago" but rather that time Past Simple, but is it also possible to use the present perfect in some cases?

I would be grateful for clarification.

Answer 2

Answer:

My parents said they had gone to the new restaurant.

Explanation:

Formula of past perfect is Had+V³ so change the verb of going

Go-went-gone-going
