Answer 1

(Join the sentence using past perfect tense​)

Puneet sent me an e-mail. I understood the problem.

Answer:

After Puneet had sent me an e-mail, I understood the problem.​

• The given sentence is:

• Puneet sent me an e-mail. I understood the problem.

• We need to join the sentence by using the ''past perfect tense''.

• We need to use certain words ''after'', ''until'', ''as soon as'', ''the moment that'' before using the past perfect simple.
• The past perfect tense is formed by using the auxiliary verb ''had'' together with the ''past participle''(Verb 3)

The required sentence will be:

After Puneet had sent me an e-mail, I understood the problem.​

Answer 2

Answer:

Puneet sent me an e-mail. I understood the problem. (Join the sentence using past perfect tense)

• After Punnet had sent me an email, I understood the problem.

• We can also write : When Punnet had sent me an email I understood the problem.

• Again : Punnet had sent me an email after I understood the problem.

• The given question is said to join the sentences using Past Perfect Tense and it is mentioned above.

• Past Perfect Tense has two conditions one, first event is written in past perfect and 2nd event is written in simple past tense.

• So here first event is : 'Punnet sent me an email' and 2nd event is 'I understood the problem'. Because first Punnet sent me an email and afterthat I understood the problem.

• Structure of Past Perfect Tense : First event , Subject + Auxiliary Verb, had + Main Verb' 3rd form + After/ Before + 2nd Sentence, Subject + Verb's 2nd form + Object . After and Before are used to compare both events.

• Example: The patient had died before the doctor came.
